Church of St. Thomas Aquinas and the Dominican monastery in Minsk

The Church of St. Thomas Aquinas and the Dominican monastery was a Catholic monastery complex in Minsk founded in the early 17th century, destroyed in 1950. It was built in the Baroque style. The foundations and cellars have been preserved, requiring detailed archaeological research. The monastery complex occupied a plot in the High Market area covering over 1 hectare (part of the block where the Palace of the Republic stands today). The buildings belonging to the Minsk Dominicans included a brick church and monastery, as well as wooden outbuildings: two wings, a stable, a granary (świran), a well, and others. In the southwest part of the plot, there was a garden. The monastery complex was surrounded by a high wall with a large entrance gate.
