Dyatlovo. The Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

The small district town of Dyatlovo dates back to the 15th century. In the center of the village stands the Catholic Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.


The church was built on the Market Square on the site of an old wooden church in 1646 with the money of the city's owner, magnate Lev Sapieha.

In the middle of the 18th century, during a fire, the temple was severely damaged and the entire interior, along with the main altar, was lost. In 1751, the building was rebuilt by architect Alexander Asykevich. The funds for the restoration of the shrine were given by Prince Nikolai Radziwill. The interior was restored and the main facade was rebuilt.

In the 19th century, there was another fire, after which the roof was changed.


The church was built in the late Vilna Baroque style, with elements of Renaissance, Gothic and early Baroque. The temple is one-nave, two-towered. There is a semicircular apse and side sacristy. The towers are four-tiered, with a shaped shield between them. Wavy cornices and pilasters divide the main facade into 3 parts. The portal was made in the 17th century in the Renaissance–Baroque style. It is believed that the portal was made by craftsmen from Krakow. In the side niches of the facade there are images of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul.


Seven 18th-century Rococo altars have been preserved in the interior. The walls are divided by pilasters and decorated with a powerful cornice around the perimeter. In the choir, where two spiral staircases lead, there is an organ, which is decorated with carvings. The main altar is two-tiered in three parts, and ends with a high-relief composition "Gloria". In the middle part there is a high-relief panel "Trinity" of six wooden sculptures. An ambo has also been created in the Rococo style.
