A beautiful building. Passwords for restoration - it's nice to see that at least somewhere something historical is being restored. The priest conducted an interesting tour. They climbed the tower.

A great little-known place. I was driving from Grodno to Minsk and decided to stop there on the way (fortunately it is located near the highway). The church belongs to the defensive type of churches (there are 2 of them in Belarus. Another one in Synkovichi near Slonim). The church looks more like a miniature castle from the outside. There are four towers with loopholes in the corners. Looking into the church, I was pleasantly surprised when a woman suggested looking into one of the towers and climbing up the spiral staircase to the bells. If you're passing through, be sure to take a look)))
We have heard about the temple for a long time, we managed to visit it on this trip. The temple is impressive. We went up to the tower. It is a very atmospheric and beautiful place.
The church is not only beautiful and impresses with massive columns inside, towers outside, you will also hear from the priest very interesting stories about this place.

A beautiful fortress church. A rare combination, hence the characteristic architecture with thick 2-meter walls and loopholes in the walls. Inside, the shape of the ceilings attracts attention.
You can climb the tower for a donation.
A beautiful ancient fortress temple is located near the Grodno-Minsk highway, there is a signpost by the road and people often stop there on the way. The inside is smaller than the outside, like many Orthodox churches.
One of the most beautiful churches in Belarus. A must-visit! The audacity not only to go inside, but also to climb up the narrow steep stairs. There are stunningly beautiful vaults inside. Real lace.
A super building, it was both Catholic and Orthodox, and served as a fortress. It looks somehow different from all this. A good minister, allows you to go everywhere, for free, can also tell excerpts from the history of the building, for free You can climb up in one of the towers, for free🧙♂️🧙♂️🧙♂️, and look around the property, although the birds scribbled decently, I recommend it, it will take 30 minutes, we looked in passing, we did not regret it
We climbed the bell tower, the views are fascinating, the young priest was telling the story of the icons to the people in front of us, we were a little late. An exiled place, interesting
A beautiful church, an excellent employee, showed everything, conducted, allowed to climb the bells. There is no tour infrastructure around. I advise everyone to visit, especially this year marks the 500th anniversary for the second time)

This is a real citadel of faith, a fortress temple with thick walls and loopholes on the towers, but at the same time the building is artfully decorated with decorative niches, pediments and arches.. And what is surprising is that if the temple seems powerful and majestic from the outside, then inside, on the contrary, it is light and airy.
A very beautiful church, which is perfectly preserved.
Once upon a time, peasants from the surrounding area hid here from Tatar-Mongol raids and other enemies.
If you have an extra 15-20 minutes, you can safely drop by on the way from the M6 highway
It's worth stopping by. In general, nothing special, but you can ask to climb the tower. There is a beautiful view, you can play a little on the bells)
The church is located in the village of Murovanka, Shchuchinsky district. It was built as an Orthodox church in 1516-1542. It has an original appearance - a combination of plastered walls and brickwork, it looks very beautiful. It was devastated during the Russian-Polish war, then by the troops of the Swedish King Charles the 12th. It was repeatedly forcibly transferred to other faiths. It has now been returned to the Orthodox, in force.
