An extremely entertaining building, inside the walls there are jugs necessary for better sound propagation in the room, inside there is a church store, where 5p is required for a liter of "holy" water.
The church of the XII century. The spirit of the time lives in the walls of the building. The temple will be of interest to both believers and ordinary people interested in the history of the country. The church was built for monks, for this reason you will not see the characteristic murals on the walls inside. The decoration of the temple is very modest. In the interior, clay vessels built into the walls are of particular value - "voice boxes" that improve acoustics. There is an embroidered copy of the Kolozha icon of the Mother of God in the church, like the original, it is considered miraculous. A place with a very subtle energy. Among the numerous temples of Belarus, the Kolozha Church is distinguished by a special atmosphere, pure emotions and awe.
An incredible combination of antiquity and modernity! The shore of the Neman was washed away... Part of the church collapsed... But they restored it 50-50! The ingenious solution of the architects is the Connection of the times! The feeling of visiting... I can't put it into words! Here you are right now... But as if it were there! At the dawn of Christianity!
This historical monument should be! 💪
It is a very beautiful, picturesque place. A nice, pleasant atmosphere inside. There is a church shop. We were on a weekday (Tuesday), there were few busts. We Liked It.
A very, very, very old church, be sure to visit. A place where it becomes calm, and peace comes. There is a beautiful view of the Neman and Grodno from above
A must-visit in the city of Grodno. For all my neutrality towards religion, I really appreciate historical works of art and the spirit of the depths of centuries. Kolozhsky temple is just such a place. I even put a candle on, although the last time I did it was 20 years ago.
This is a temple from the same era as the legendary Church of the Intercession on the Nerl in Vladimir. It is worth visiting to get into the spirit of that era, pre-Mongol Russia. I lower the score for the disgusting road to the temple by car, it is difficult to drive and you can get confused, it is very bad that the city administration will not make a normal paved road to the attraction in any way. There is also a viewing platform on the river, another plus to visit this place
This is the soul of the city of Grodno, its business card and a favorite place for tourists and citizens. The place is salted and seems to breathe antiquity.
A quiet, cozy place, I really like to sit early in the summer morning just above the church and just enjoy the privacy and the view. An atmosphere of calm and balance. Inside the church it is also very bright and pleasant, although a little empty. We baptized our son in the old church and now it is even more significant for our family.
There are three churches of this type in Belarus. This was told at the Museum of Culture and Religion in Grodno. They are located in Grodno, Turov (only the foundation has been preserved, but it is located under a glass dome and services are even held there), Polotsk (the church of Euphrasinia of Polotsk, where you can see frescoes from the time of the saint's life).
The church is very cold both in winter and summer.
Of the architectural elements, you can pay attention to the holes in the wall. I always thought that these were holes for scaffolding, during the construction of a building, and this is such a pottery - a voice box built into the wall to improve acoustics, and also signs on the bricks in the form of a fish, a key.
It is absolutely necessary to visit this church.
The view of the Neman is fascinating. The area is well landscaped and the park is nearby. And the stones and colored mosaics of those ancient times make you think about many eternal things. A cozy temple, so homely and kind.
An interesting place. It is better to read beforehand or take a guide. I really liked how gently and delicately the destroyed part of the building was repaired. It's impressive, the atmosphere of antiquity.
