Description of the attraction
Glubokoe is an ancient city that arose on the shores of five lakes. If we talk about Belarus Blue-eyed - the country of lakes, then Glubokoe will be its vivid embodiment. Here is the Belarusian quiet beauty, and the opposition of Christian confessions, and the indescribable nature of the lake region.
The first mention of Glubokoe dates back to 1414. Glubokoe was located on the rich trade route from Vilna to Polotsk. This was the most convenient place for the fair. In addition to wealthy merchants and other merchant people, Glubokoe was divided among themselves by two families of Korsak and Zinovichi.
The main square in Glubokoye is interestingly decorated. On different sides of the square, two magnificent baroque churches were erected in the 17th-18th centuries. They face each other with facades and seem to be looking into each other's faces. During the Russian rule, one of the churches was transferred to the Orthodox.
Now in Glubokoe there is a functioning Catholic Trinity Church built in 1764-1782. The building is in perfect condition. The interiors of the temple and its main altar are very beautiful.
There is also an Orthodox church - the Cathedral of the Nativity of the Virgin, rebuilt in 1885 from the Carmelite church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is very noticeable from the inside that the cathedral was once a church.
There is also a Lutheran church in Glubokoe. What's interesting is that it is also active. Such is the nature of the trading cities. Representatives of all confessions get along here. It would be something to trade.
There is in the Deep memory of the old war - a cemetery of Polish soldiers. Very clean and well maintained cemetery. The grave of F. Munchausen is located at the same cemetery.
