The Great Synagogue of Berezhany is an Ashkenazi synagogue completed in 1718 but rebuilt around 1900. This brick building in Baroque Survival style is now abandoned.
The Great Synagogue in Pidhaitsi was built as a fortress synagogue between 1621 and 1648. During World War II and the Holocaust, the local Jewish community was wiped out. Afterwards, the building was used as a storehouse. Today the building is empty and dilapidated.
The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary was originally a Dominican church that was built in the years 1749-1779 according to the design of August Moszyński. In 1945 it was closed by the communists, and from 1959 it was turned into a warehouse. Despite the efforts of the original owners - Roman Catholics - to recover it, it was handed over to the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church in 1989.
