Lonely Planet review

A highlight of Ploshchka rynok is the Boyim Chapel, just off the square's southwestern corner. The burial chapel (1617) of a Hungarian merchant family, its blackened façade is covered in magnificent carvings, including portraits of family patriarchs above the door. Atop the cupola is an unusual sculpture of Christ sitting with his head in one hand.
