A monument of architecture of national importance (security number 1591 N)
А new convent complex for the Reformed Order was builtaccording to the project of Antonio Castelli in the late Baroque style at the expense of Stanislav Pototskyiіn the 18th century. The complex was located on a convenient site on a hill overlooking the main street of town in the northern part, almost on the outskirts, not far from the Dubenska Gate (today it is Dubenska Street). The Reformed Fathers developed clear guidelines for the construction of church and nunnery complexes, and the architects, who designed new churches, had to follow them. The monasteries of the Order were built according to a typical plan: they were single-nave buildings without towers, with a small tower above the presbytery, rarely above the nave. The same principles were embodied in the construction of the Kremenets nunnery. At first, a one-nave church and H-shaped residential building connected to the temple were built. The three-tier bell tower was built at the beginning of the 20thcentury, designed by Bishop Nikon in the Russian-Byzantine style.
The Reformed Order was transferred from Kremenets to Dederkaly at the beginning of the 19thcentury and their premises were transferred to the Basilian Fathers, who,in their turn, left the monastery above the market square for the needs of the Volyn Gymnasium.
The main shrine of the women’s nunnery is the miraculous icon of the Mother of God «Mournful». In the central temple of the Epiphany there are icons of saints and the Mother of God, painted on Mount Athos at the beginning of the 20th century. Some of them contain fragments of saintrelics.
