The Roman Catholic Church was built by Carlo Lurago in 1665-1678 for the Jesuit Order. The church was built in the early Baroque style, on the model of the Church of Il Gesu - the cathedral church of the Society of Jesus (Jesuit Order) in Rome, where his founder - Ignatius Loyola is buried. The church is made in the form of a basilica with narrow side chapels and a triangular tympanum. The mighty pediment of the western facade is crowned by the figure of St. Ignatius Loyola in the golden glow, with the first letters of the Jesuit motto on his chest - AMDG.→
