Belousha. Trinity Church.

On the way from Stolin to David-Gorodok there is the town of Belousha on the banks of the Goryn river. The Orthodox Trinity Church stands in the middle of the village. Belousha was first mentioned in historical sources since the 16th century, since the time of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.


During the time of the Russian Empire, an Orthodox church was built, which was consecrated in honor of the Holy Spirit. The temple was built in 1833. The church was wooden, triangular, covered with a shingled roof and three-tiered windows. There was a wooden bell tower nearby. The interior had a five-tiered wooden-carved iconostasis with 36 icons.

In 1866, there was a severe fire, but the church was rebuilt. 


A new church was built at the expense of parishioners in 1906. A wooden church designed by V. Struyev was built on a stone foundation. During the war and during the Soviet years, the shrine always worked.


The church consists of four main parts: the vestibule, the refectory, the prayer hall and the apse. A three-tiered bell tower is built over the vestibule, eight above four. An octagonal massive light drum rises above the main volume, which is completed by a dome. The interior features a four-tiered iconostasis with icons and banners. In recent years, the temple has been renovated.

There are several graves of priests near the church.
