When the Poles regained control of Kremenets, they sealed their victory by building another of the town's main sights, the Jesuit Collegium (1731–43), on the main drag. In turn, the Soviets sealed their triumph in WWII by plonking a bombastic war monument right in front of the complex. The baroque church is the only part of the building you can visit.
