Dolginovo. Trinity Church.

The temple was built at the expense of the treasury on the southern outskirts of the village of Dolginovo from brick. White brick was used to build the church. The building has the shape of a cross with two domes. In its image and forms, this shrine is more like a three-dimensional dome with semicircular projections. When the sun sets, you can watch the majestic cross burning in its rays with golden light.

Inside the temple there is a carved wooden iconostasis, studded with gilding. The sacred images that crown the walls of the temple give a feeling of complete spiritual harmony and peace. The wooden iconostasis is decorated with gilt carvings.

On July 4, 1916, the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God was brought to Holy Trinity Church. Prayer services were held during this period with a very large gathering of people. In the following years, the church was renovated more than once. The decorative elements on the facade were painted in different colors - blue, pink, purple. Nowadays, this beautiful functioning temple is in excellent condition and is an architectural, cultural and historical monument, a unique landmark of Belarus.

The church has three entrances, which are decorated with arches and unique ornaments in the retrospective Russian style. The temple is crowned with a dome mounted on an eight-faceted drum. Small windows are cut on the edges. Each entrance to the temple is decorated with columns, they have a small portico. The vestibule ends with an octagonal bell tower with a hipped roof and a small cupola. This gives the building volume. The church is surrounded by a stone fence. There is a gate in the fence in front of the main entrance. They are built of the same white brick as the church and look very beautiful and pompous.

There were different periods in the history of the Trinity Church in Dolginovo. There was a time when the church belonged to the Uniates. There was an Orthodox church in Dolginovo back in the 16th century, but it was burned down by rampaging Catholics with the help of soldiers. In a short time, a new wooden church was built at the expense of the parishioners, which stood for 100 years.

Being under the jurisdiction of the Uniates, they introduced Latin elements and Latin attributes into liturgical practice. Organs, drums, and bells were introduced, and the iconostasis was eliminated.

In the second half of the 18th century, a new stone church was built at the expense of the landowner Kamensky and parishioners, which lasted until 1870. A year later, the Bishop of Kovno, His Grace Joseph, consecrated the church in the name of the Holy Trinity. Since that time, the Trinity Church in Dolginovo has become Orthodox.

The temple is very unique and peculiar in its architectural mix of styles and decoration. He creates a very solemn mood and delights with his beauty and grace.
