  • the Jesuit monastery - the Krzemieniec Secondary School is the most characteristic building of Krzemieniec, which was built in the years 1731–1753 according to the design of the architect - Jesuit Paweł Giżycki, funded by the Dukes of Wiśniowiec.
  • church of st. Ignatius of Loyola and St. Stanislaus. After the dissolution of the Jesuit Order in 1773, the church was turned into a parish church, and then in 1832 into an Orthodox church, when it was taken from the Catholics, who regained it in 1920 during the Second Polish Republic.
• Catholic Church of st. Stanisław Biskupa from 1853–1857, it was built on the model of the Church of St. Catherine in Saint Petersburg. Inside there is a statue of Juliusz Słowacki. Local Poles contributed to its preservation in the Soviet times, convincing the Russians that it was about commemorating the "revolutionary poet". After 1946, the building was used as a sports hall. Currently, the church has been converted into the Church of the Transfiguration as the property of the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church [24]
• the church, which was handed over as a parish church to the Franciscans at the beginning of the 17th century, was founded in 1538 by Queen Bona Sforza. The Franciscans were brought in by the bishop of Lutsk, Marcin Szyszkowski. The existing temple was founded in 1606 by the Dukes of Wiśniowiecki and Zbaraski - they also financed the construction of the monastery. The church was significantly rebuilt and enlarged in the mid-17th century. The belfry was also built at that time. In 1832, as part of the repressions after the fall of the November Uprising, the monastery was closed and the temple was handed over to the Orthodox faithful. Currently, the church of st. Nicholas
• the female monastery of the Epiphany is located at Shevchenki Street (until 1939, Szeroka Street). It continues the tradition of the Orthodox monastery founded in 1636, which was taken over by the Jesuits in the 18th century and then handed over to the Basilians. In 1805 [25] Tadeusz Czacki moved the monks to the buildings of the 18th-century Reformed monastery (founded in 1750 by Stanisław Potocki, the voivode of Poznań), and incorporated the former monastery building into the building complex of the Krzemieniec Secondary School. The Basilians operated in Kremenets until 1832, when as part of the repressions after the November Uprising, by the decision of the tsarist authorities, the building was taken over as a cathedral by the Russian Orthodox Church and rebuilt in the Byzantine style. During the Second Polish Republic, the Orthodox bishop of Volhynia resided here [26] [27]
