Abstract

The St. Nicholas Church in Zamość has a history of belonging to various religions and rituals. It was built at the beginning of the 17th century as an Orthodox church serving the Orthodox community living in the city. At the beginning of the 18th century, the Orthodox Church was handed over to the Basilians, who built a monastery by the church, which operated until 1865. In 1720, a synod of the Unitarian Church in the Republic of Poland was held in St. Nicholas’ Orthodox Church. After the dissolution of Unitarian monasteries in the Kingdom of Poland, the monastery was taken over by the Treasury of the Kingdom of Poland, and the Orthodox Church and its equipment was left as a parish. In 1875 the temple was returned to the Orthodox, which was connected with changes in its appearance. After the Orthodox clergy left Zamość in 1915, the church was taken over by the Roman Catholic Church.
