mixed architectural styles of the Baroque and Russian Classicism.
From 1610 t� 1793, there was an educational institution in the building - Jesuitical
Collegium for children of the Polish clergy and gentry. On the one hand, it
served as a mean of turning into the Catholics and Polishing of our country,
