History of the Trinity Church in the town of Glubokoe
The small town of Glubokoe is located in the Vitebsk region. The name of the town was not given by chance, because in the nearest area there are 5 lakes. In addition to the picturesque nature of this place, you can see many interesting sights in Glubokoe. The most famous here is the Trinity Church, which was built of stone in the period from 1764 to 1782, and in 1783 it was consecrated by Bishop P. Tochilovsky.
The history of the church is connected with the sad events of the 19th century, when the authorities closed the Carmelite monastery and another Catholic cathedral, which led to the great popularity of the Trinity Church due to the absence of other churches. This demand made it necessary to expand the temple for a comfortable stay for all parishioners.
In the 20th century, the temple was rebuilt and modified. The final view of the Trinity Church can be seen in the small town of Glubokoe.
