Church of St. Adalbert and Benedictine monastery (Belarusian: Касцёл Святога Войцеха і кляштар бенедыкцінак) was a Roman Catholic monastic complex in Minsk originally belonging to the Benedictine order, founded in the first half of the 17th century. It was taken from the order after the January Uprising, and transferred to Orthodox nuns in 1871. The monastery was demolished in the 1930s, and the former church was destroyed in 1964. Only the foundations of the church remain.[1][2] Currently, the General Prosecutor's Office of Belarus is located on this site.
