Antopol. Resurrection Church.

There is a place called Antopol between Kobrin and Drogichin, which is known from historical sources of the 18th century. There are still old stone pre-revolutionary houses and buildings of interwar Poland in the village. There are also paved streets.

The impressive church, which was built in 1854, gives an impressive flavor to Antopol. The church was consecrated in honor of the Resurrection of Christ. The church's sponsor was a local landowner, Prince Julian Gedroyts. The new building of the shrine was erected on the site of the old church. In 1866, a bell tower was erected near the church.


The church was built in the traditions of folk wooden architecture with elements of classicism. The building is rectangular in plan, covered with a gable roof. The main facade is decorated with a four-column portico of the Doric order. Above the portico is a triangular pediment with an octagonal drum and an onion dome. A smaller turret on an octagonal drum with an onion was also erected above the apse. In front of the temple is a two-tiered wooden bell tower, which is covered with a four-pitched roof.


In the interior, the interior space is divided by four columns into three naves. Choirs are located above the entrance. There is an iconostasis from the 19th century. There are icons from the 17th – 19th centuries: "Our Lady of Tenderness", "Trinity of the New Testament", "Trinity", "Our Lady of Odigitria", "Our Lady of Odigitria of Czestochowa", "Saint Elijah", "Saved Pantokrator", "Adoration of the Magi", "Saved with the primates", "the Prophets", "the Saint", "Alexander Nevsky" and others.


A stone column was built next to the main facade of the Church on the right side in honor of the Constitution of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth on May 3, 1791.
