Duboy. Church of the Nativity of the Mother of God.

There are many different historical monuments in Duboy, Pinsk district: a park, the remains of an estate, a chapel, water channels and much more. The local park and manor were known throughout the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and the last king and Grand Duke of Lithuania, Stanislav August Poniatowski, came here in 1784.

And in the middle of the village there is a stone Orthodox Church of the Nativity of the Mother of God.


The temple was built in 1811 at the expense of Klotilda Kuzhenetskaya in the classical style. The Kuzhenetsky family was the owner of a local estate. The church originally belonged to the Uniates, and then, after the prohibition of the union in the 19th century, it passed to the Orthodox believers. Later, a wooden bell tower and a priest's house were built near the church.


The church has a centric composition with an octagonal interior shape. The main volume is covered by a faceted spherical dome. A little later, a vestibule was added to the main volume, which, like the apse, is covered with a gable roof. The interior has choirs supported by wooden columns. The frescoes in the grisaille technique have been partially preserved. There is a three-tiered iconostasis. The church has been restored.

A wooden house for the priest has been preserved near the church.
