Summary / Abstract:

LTStraipsnyje aptariama Trakų bernardinų konvento istorija nuo pirmosios bažnyčios, vienuolyno pastatymo ir Šv. Pranciškaus mažesniųjų brolių observantų įsikūrimo Trakuose iki šio vienuolyno likvidavimo. Remiantis šaltiniais bandoma atkurti iki mūsų dienų neišlikusio ansamblio pastatų pobūdį, architektūrinių pokyčių eigą, bažnyčios interjero dekoro kaitą. Analizuojamas altorinių paveikslų ir kito istoriškai vertingo inventoriaus likimas, iškeliami probleminiai klausimai ir gairės tolesniems istoriniams tyrimams dėl laikomų dingusiais objektų galimos buvimo vietos.

ENThe Franciscan Convent of the Friars Minor Observants (Bernardines) appeared in Trakai in 1617, when the old church of St. Nicholas the Bishop was handed over to the monks. Originally having the status of a residence, already in the middle of the 17th century it became a convent and received support from famous magnates, clergymen and nobles of the Trakai voivodeship. Set on fire by the Muscovite army in 1655, the convent was completely ravaged, and its library was burned down, turning into flames all the early church documents. Thus, no information about the oldest furnishing of St. Nicholas’ Church has survived. Immediately after the end of the war, reconstruction of the buildings started, the altars were rebuilt, and new paintings were hung. Various noble families supported the reconstructed ensemble with financial donations and various liturgical vestments and implements. After the fire of 1750, a new larger brick church was rebuilt, in 1770–1771, construction of new wooden altars began, and the temple’s other furnishings were partly renewed as well. In the convent’s lustration act of 1775, a finished two-storey brick convent building is already mentioned. In the late 18th – early 19th century, the church interior was regularly renewed and restructured. The political events of the 19th century hit the Bernardines of Trakai as painfully as they did other convents of this order in Lithuania, and besides, they had even more fatal consequences as a large part of material heritage was destroyed. On 30 March 1845, the convent was liquidated, its inventory scattered, and the buildings gradually went into decay. Two altars from the church were transferred to the Nemenčinė church in the 19th century but were destroyed during a fire.It is assumed that presently the Nemenčinė church holds two other, older side altars that also belonged to the Trakai Bernardines, while the Rūdninkai church contains several paintings, which quite possibly were brought from Trakai.
