Rolduc Abbey is a former abbey from the 12th century, which is said to have been founded in 1104 by Pastor Ailbertus van Antoing. In addition to the abbey church, the vast complex includes an abbey building in Mosan Renaissance style (abbey wing and water tower, 1671), an 18th-century Baroque abbey wing, the monastery farm dating largely from the 18th century and other economic buildings. The crypt of the abbey church is famous for its 12th century carved capitals, which are among the highlights of Mosan art.

The consecration of the Church of Jesus the Merciful took place on October 10, 2009 as part of the celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Vitebsk diocese. The liturgy, during which the consecration took place, was led by the Apostolic Nuncio to Belarus, Archbishop Martin Vidovich.

The church was built in the years 1887???1897 on the site of a wooden church of the same name, which was moved to the post-cemetery square at 22 Ogrodowa Street (after the transfer it is called Saint Joseph). The designer of the temple in the Vistula-Baltic style was Konstanty Wojciechowski, and nearly half of the costs of its construction and equipment were covered by ??ud?? manufacturers of various denominations, who occupied high positions in the nineteenth-century textile industry.

At the instigation of Archbishop John McHale, Archbishop of Tuam, a new church was started in 1876, to a design by J.J. O???Callaghan. Much of the funding for the project came from the diaspora in the USA. This church was on a higher site opposite the original church. Progress slowed when the parish priest Canon James Magee died in 1885. His successor, Canon Patrick Lyons, demolished the half-completed church in 1891, much to the consternation of parishioners and donors, and built the present church alongside the old St Mary???s church. The present church, designed by Dublin architect, Walter G. Doolin , was started in 1897 and opened in 1901, dedicated to Our Lady of the Holy Rosary. James Pearse, the English father of Padraig Pearse, made the marble altar, and the stained glass was by Meyer of Munich, Germany. The large, five-lancet window over the altar, features images depicting scenes from the fifteen mysteries of the rosary, and was presented by the Archbishop of Tuam, Dr. John McEvilly.
