David-Gorodok. Church of the Kazan Mother of God.

The ancient town of David-Gorodok in the Stolin district has a rich history and many ancient monuments have been preserved here. This includes several religious buildings of different faiths. On the central square, which was once the shopping area of the town, there is the Orthodox Church of the Kazan Mother of God.


The church is surrounded by a stone fence around the perimeter. In front of the church is a stone frame in the same architectural style as the church. There is a chapel in the corner of the territory. The temple with the gate and the chapel form a single architectural ensemble.


Great efforts and funds for the construction of a new church were provided by priest Timofey Stepanovich Yukhnevich, to whom a memorial plaque was installed on the main facade of the church: "Priest Timofey Stepanovich Yukhnevich (1877-1920). The builder of the Holy Kazan Church of D-Gorodok. The memory of parishioners."


The temple was built in 1913 on the place where there was once an ancient wooden church from 1844. Construction was carried out for several years at the expense of parishioners, starting in 1910. According to some reports, the construction of the temple was hampered by various bureaucratic delays, and parishioners had to contact Emperor Nicholas II himself to speed up construction.


The church was never closed and worked in Soviet times. The church consists of 4 main parts: a vestibule, a refectory, a prayer hall and an apse. The main volume is decorated with 5 domes. The temple was built in an eclectic style with a Moscow-Yaroslavl trend. The interior has preserved tiled stoves and ancient icons.
