The Church of St. John the Baptist in Bobruyschina is an architectural monument of the retrospective Russian style.

The Church of St. John the Baptist, located in Bobruyschina village, is a significant historical and cultural site.

The main attraction of Bobruyschina is located in the center of the village. Consecrated in 1876, it served for a long time as a cemetery church, where funeral rites were held.


The temple has a three-dimensional composition consisting of 3 parts: a rectangular prayer hall, a two-tiered bell tower and a semicircular apse. The main volume is covered by a four-pitched roof, which is completed by an onion dome on an octagonal drum. Elements of ancient Russian religious architecture are actively used in the decor: kokoshniks, wedge-shaped skirting boards of arched window openings, shaped pediments and half columns. These elements give the small stone temple an elegant and expressive look, which makes it attractive to visitors and researchers.


The Church of St. John the Baptist is recognized as a Category III historical and cultural heritage site, which underlines its importance in the context of the cultural heritage of the region and the country as a whole.


In addition to the Church of St. John the Baptist, the picturesque ruins of the wooden church of St. Anthony have been preserved on the southern outskirts of the village.
