Abstract

У статті розглядаються і публікуються описи будівель Спасо-Преображенського та Хрестовоздвиженського монастирів у м. Дубно, складені у 1769 р. Вони дозволяють досліджувати планувальну структуру, характер та архітектурні особливості монастирської забудови. (Spaso-Preobrazhensky and Khrestovozdvyzhensky monasteries of Dubno are one of the oldest in Volyn region. Thanks to the considerable support of princes of Ostrog in the second half of XVI – at the beginning of the XVII century, religious and cultural activity aimed at composing theological texts and translation of the Holy Bible was centered on them. The key buildings of both monasteries, which are described in the published inventory, are of earlier origin. Namely, the building of the churches is attributed to the princes of Ostrog by the author. Most of the utility buildings, as well as residential units, were in a satisfactory state at the time when the inventory was made. This allows inferring that they were either new-built or repaired. The presence of a big number of utility buildings, which were used for storing tools and provisions, leads to the conclusion that the monks themselves were involved in procurement prior to the XVIII century. The descriptions contribute to the reproduction of monastery yards’ planning and individual buildings in it, particularly their architectural and art peculiarities. Different variants of buildings’ construction and approaches to their interior and exterior decorations can be observed, which helps to see some displays of folk construction tradition of one town. Thus, most residential units and utility buildings were made of wood, the bakery of Khrestovozdvyzhensky monastery also had a whickered inner porch, the houses of the prior and the priests were plastered with clay and the washhouse was perched on the poles above the water.
