An amazing place!!! Must-visit) although the appearance of the 12th century temple has been preserved only partially, the spirit of antiquity is present.

The navigator does not behave correctly when you dial the Galosh church, to a new area where there is no church at all.
It is necessary to search as it is written here. The church is located on the banks of the Neman River next to the old castle.

A place of spiritual power. The incredible beauty of the views, nature and the temple itself, which breathes centuries of history and grace. A strong history of the church. A must-visit!
I advise you to visit the incredibly beautiful view of the Neman and the church itself has been restored in a rather unusual way, half of the structure has been preserved from brick, and the other half has been restored from wood.
A little church, an interesting story. The church shop has original goods (for example, magical Christmas tree toys). Beautiful views of castles and the Neman.
11th century, what else can I add? It needs to be seen. You can go inside, but the temple is not always open. The frescoes have not been preserved inside.
A living history . It is similar to the ancient Bulgarian churches. A unique place. One road - climbing it is worth a lot! A place filled with centuries.
To be in Grodno and not visit Kolozha = not to visit Grodno. One of the symbols of the city, an unforgettable place in terms of architecture and ... energy. If possible, it is necessary to take an excursion for the fullness of sensations
The church you need to come to. Especially the fact that the church of the 12th century. By the way, this is a reminder to anyone who does not know history.
Just a delight! Such an ancient church, I am glad that part of the building has been preserved since the 12th century. The territory is beautiful, a gorgeous view of the Neman. People of any religion must visit, just for aesthetic pleasure.
We visit the Kolozha Church every time we arrive in Grodno. There are not many such buildings of the 12th century left. The structure is impressive. It is located on a hill not far from the shore of the Neman. From a distance it looks like a castle-type defensive structure. There are church shops inside, the prices are very affordable, they did not leave without parking for themselves or their loved ones.
When I was a child, I went on an excursion to this place and had interesting memories. A modern reconstruction of the church has now been carried out. Everything is so well-groomed and beautiful. I'm thrilled!
The history of the church itself is amazing, be sure to follow the QR code on the gate, the centuries-old history, and the atmosphere in the temple is amazing, ancient icons simply attract you!! Thank you for saving such a miracle!
