Summary/Abstract: Inthe texts about the castle in Kamianets-Podilskyi, we find mentions of the St. Stanislaus church located in its courtyard, as well as the Orthodox church. Based on castle inventories from the 16th and early 17th century, it is possible to de-termine their founders and the hypothetical time of these objects’ construction. The Orthodox church was erected at the end of the 14th century from the foundation ofthe Lithuanian princes Koryatowicz. The church of St. Stanislaus was built with funds from Jan Potocki at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries. When Kamianets-Podilskyi came under Turkish occupation, probably at that time, after 1672 the Orthodox church wasdemolished and the church of St. Stanislaus was turned into a mosque. Ruined, itwas demolished after the recapture of Kamianets-Podilskyi by Poland in 1699.
