Glubokskiy Trinity Catholic Church is an architectural monument of the 18th - the beginning of the 20th centuries. It was built of brick in 1764-83 years in the historic centre of the town of Glubokoye in the style of the late Belarusian (Vilna) Baroque. It is a one-nave church with a semicircular elongated apse of the presbytery and the two-tower main facade with a figured pediment and refined architectural plastics. It was generally rebuilt in the years 1902-1908 (architect Yu. Zoro). At the place of an old temple a three-nave cross-vaulted basilica was built in the Neo-Baroque style. Yet the former main facade was preserved, two new tiers were built over its towers, three late baroque altars with Corinthian columns were moved into the interior. It is a historical and cultural value of national importance.
