Petrshin Hill has been considered a holy place since time immemorial. And this fact is confirmed by the Cathedral of St. Lawrence (Vavrzhynets), located directly on the site of the ancient pagan temple of worshipers of the Slavic god of thunder and lightning Perun. An ardent fighter against the pagans, Prince Boleslaw II, in order to finally destroy the pagan sanctuary, in 992 ordered to build a chapel in its place (according to the chronicles of Nut). In other chronicles the foundation of the chapel of the Visegrad Chapter in Petrshina dates back to 1135.→
