    (Translated by Google) St. Michael's Church is a non-functioning church, in the building of which there is a museum of church heritage. Its architecture is a mixture of two styles - Gothic and Renaissance. The construction of the church and monastery under him began at the end of the 16th century and was completed in 1625. The construction was sponsored by Hetman of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania Lev Sapieha. He was buried right there and for a long time the dungeons of the church were used as the mausoleum of the Sapieha family. (Original) Костел Св.Михаила – ныне не действующий костел, в здании которого располагается музей церковного наследия. Его архитектура представляет собой смесь двух стилей – готики и ренессанса.Строительство костела и монастыря при нем было начато в конце XVI века, и завершено в 1625 году. Спонсором строительства выступал гетман ВКЛ Лев Сапега. Он похоронен тут же и долгое время подземелья костела использовались как мавзолей рода Сапег.

    (Translated by Google) Very nice church. A very sober architectural style. It is just a few meters from the impressive gothic church of San Ana, which means that it is not so highly valued. We must stop to observe it. It is very pretty. (Original) Muy bonita iglesia. Un estilo arquitectónico muy sobrio. Está apenas a unos metros de la impresionante iglesia gótica de san Ana, lo que hace que no se la valore tanto. Hay que detenerse a observarla. Es muy bonita.

    (Translated by Google) A very beautiful church very close to another church and the river. The church is very beautiful and the details and details of the facade are very interesting. The presence of the three bell towers is very interesting. It is kept very well. It is worth going to visit. (Original) Una gran bella chiesa molto vicina ad un'altra chiesa ed al fiume. La chiesa è molto bella e molto interessanti sono i dettagli ed i particolari della facciata. Molto interessante è la presenza dei tre campanili. E' tenuta molto bene. Vale la pena andarla a visitare.
