The church simply breathes antiquity, admission is free, but you can pay on the spot for a guide who will tell you everything and show you. Holes in the wall are walled-up jugs, lighten the building, improve acoustics and condense moisture.

It's worth a visit! You can climb an ordinary staircase, or you can follow a steep path of stones through the trees. There is a drinking tap. We were told that this is the oldest temple in Grodno — the 10th century. The facades are made in an interesting way.

This is the most unusual church I've seen. She is beautiful and unlike the others! The opportunity to touch the thousand-year-old stones. I definitely recommend you to visit! I'm still impressed.

The oldest church not only in Belarus, but also in Europe. The temple is imbued with tranquility and tranquility. The rector of the temple is a sympathetic person. He can always talk to you, and if you need to cheer you up. I recommend you to visit

A very interesting church, unlike other such ancient churches (for example, in Vladimir). It's a pity that it collapsed, moreover recently. I liked the piece of mosaic that is inside the most.

A very beautiful place! There is a beautiful view of Grodno. The church is absolutely amazing, it's a pity that they close it with a tree - it's obvious, otherwise it can't be saved. It is very cozy, quiet and peaceful inside

One of the oldest Orthodox churches in ancient Russia. Each stone of the temple walls carries the energy of centuries. It's worth it just to enter and feel this energy. Put your palms on its walls. This is just that Russia - the original one. And the walls of the temple are witnesses of those times.
A must-visit. I strongly recommend it!

Talking about the disadvantages of the temple is an empty matter. This is a TEMPLE, not a cafe. It is this temple that is unique in that it is the oldest Orthodox church on the territory of Belarus, from the beginning of the 12th century. Clay jars for acoustics are visible in its ancient, partially remaining walls. There is a list of icons

Boris and Gleb Church - Grodno, Belarus.
The second name of the temple is Kolozhskaya Church.
Presumably the temple was built in 1140-1170.
12th century!!!
This is one of the oldest preserved churches of Ancient Russia.
The initiators of the construction are called Prince Vsevolodko of Grodno or his two sons: Boris and Gleb.
The facade of the Kolozha Church is unique, the walls are not plastered,
but decorated with decorative inserts of multicolored boulders and majolica tiles in the shape of crosses.
Inside the temple, there are a large number of voicing devices embedded in the walls of the temple - this is for special acoustics.
There is an observation deck with a beautiful view of the Old Castle and the river.
The temple is located in a park.
There is a small parking lot.
The toilet is a plastic cubicle .

It's a beautiful place. This church is a spiritual place. Thank you for the adequate attitude, people come in different clothes, someone in shorts, yes, I know there is a dress code and an understanding of how to come to church, but sometimes it does not work out if you are a tourist and have not provided for a visit and it is wonderful that anyone can come and stay in this beautiful church and no one He doesn't kick anyone out. About this church, I really want to say that this is the very church in which you will come in handy to God. That's the atmosphere. I wish there were more such spiritual and spiritual places. You have managed to keep that important and necessary atmosphere when I want to come to you. Nothing distracts.

An incredible place where power is felt. The staff is very friendly. The church is tidy and clean, there is not a leaf outside. It was almost closing time, but no one said a word that it was time to leave.

I come every few years and am very glad to see how the landscaping around is improving and how harmoniously the reconstruction was carried out. A unique small cozy temple. When visiting, keep in mind that there is no catering nearby. I haven't seen a toilet either, but maybe there is one... This is important because the temple is located in a park, at a distance from the main historical sites. There are a sufficient number of benches for relaxation, a water column. And a beautiful view from the hill.

The Yandex maps arrived on Monday at 8.00 a.m. they show that the church is open, but in fact all the doors are locked. I really wanted to get inside, but it's not fate. It is impressive from afar, and it smells of antiquity and it is believed that it is the 12th century

A wonderful interweaving of the 12th and 21st centuries. The restoration of the temple seemed to us very delicate, without fakes, or something. And the temple itself is a true touch of history.. in icons, mosaics, prints..

An ancient structure of unusual shape and with an ornament never seen before
Inside, the guide can show the face of the saint appearing on the stones

A powerful place. A really ancient temple. Even when you touch the walls, you can feel it!
It's quiet inside, you have a good rest from the hustle and bustle. But in the summer there are a lot of excursions, some speak loudly, it is not always comfortable...

It is clear that it has been heavily repaired. But the preserved part of the wall is awe-inspiring: the Byzantine style and ancient brick are clearly visible. I recommend you to visit.
