The construction of the seminary took place in 1789-1790. Until 1793, there was a Greek Catholic seminary. From 1793 this building was transferred for the needs and gatherings of the local nobility, and in 1798 it was leased to the Anton Zmiivsky Theater. In 1805 the seminary was again given to the theological department of the Podolsk Orthodox Diocese. Here the premises were restored, a balcony was arranged, and an original roof was built. The house became one of the buildings of Kamyanets-Podilsky Theological Seminary. Famous figures studied here: Anatoliy Svydnytsky, Stepan Rudansky, Mykhailo Dostoevsky, Mykola Leontovych.

In 1865 the building was transferred to a seminary for men. In 1891 the house was transferred to the Archaeological Society. In the period 1914-1923, the museum of the Podolsk Church Society was located here. From 1928 to 1932 the building was used as the Palace of Pioneers. After the Second World War, the Red Weaver factory operated in the seminary.
The house was restored in 1976-1982. In 1982, an art gallery was placed here, which was part of the Kamyanets-Podilsky Museum-Reserve and still operates today.

The building of the seminary is a two-storey building, covered with plaster on the outside. It has a rectangular shape. Under the first floor is a vaulted basement. Inside the building has a sectional layout. Now the building houses an art gallery. Her exposition shows works of painting and sculpture of the 17th-20th centuries. There are also a large number of icons that once belonged to different religious denominations. There is also a room-museum of Hodovanets and thematic exhibitions are often held.

On the facade is a memorial plaque to Stepan Rudansky, a prominent poet and physician.
