The Bernardine Monastery was built in 1809 from brick on the high bank of the Dubrovienka River on the site of a wooden monastery in 1630. It is a monument of Baroque architecture.

The wooden catholic church and monastery in Dubroŭna were built in 1630 in the Baroque style. The catholic church was rectangular in plan building, topped with a gable roof. The main facade was flanked by two towers. A two-storey monastery building adjoined the side facade of the catholic church, and thus a closed peribolos was formed.

The entire wooden complex was destroyed by fire at the end of the 18th century. A monastery with the Bernardine catholic church were built in its place in 1809. The monastery was a two-storey bricken building covered with a gable roof. The architecture of the monastery reflected the main features of the Baroque style. After the rebellion of 1830–1831, the Bernardines were expelled from Dubroŭna, the monastery was closed, and the catholic church became parish.

 In 1930, in line with the anti-religious policy of the Soviet regime, the parish catholic church was closed and given for the House of Culture. After a while, the church was rebuilt as a cinema, and then destroyed. Thus, only the monastery building remained, which was occupied by administrative and public institutions. Today this building is not used.
