The former Dominican complex located in oew. Agaty Square in Sejny is composed of a three–nave basilica of the Visitation of the Holy Virgin Mary, a quadrilateral post–monastic building and a fencing wall. The original version of the basilica was Early Baroque with belated Gothic elements, frequently encountered in Dominican churches. The founder of the church (1610–1619) and the monastery (after 1603, built up to 1706) was Jerzy Grodziński. In 1760, the church was redesigned; its corps was elongated by two spans, the presbytery was reversed, and a monumental faćade with two lofty towers was added. The object in question is the most valuable architectonic monument in the entire Suwałki region. In 1918–1925, it was the cathedral of the Augustów– –Sejny diocese, and, subsequently, a collegiate church. The basilica was repaired and conserved, i. a. in 1974–1976 and 1996–1998; the former monastic complex awaits repair and development.
