Khotislav. Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord.

In the village of Khotislav, Maloritskiy district, which is located south of the district center, the Orthodox Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord was built in the middle of the village on the main street.

The first church in Khotislav was built at the beginning or in the middle of the 17th century. Since the "newly built" church was already mentioned in 1668.

The church was built in the Baroque style in 1752, or according to other sources in 1799. According to some sources, the monument dates back to the 17th century. The building is built of wood, consists of three log cabins to which a pentagonal apse is attached. Initially, the temple had two three–tiered towers on the main facade, and in 1867 a vestibule with a three-tiered bell tower was added. The bell tower is completed with a multi–faceted high tent, which is decorated with decorative kokoshniks in the pseudo-Russian style. Multi-tiered barrack domes are built over the side towers, the main volume and the altar part. At first, the roof of the church was covered with shingles, and in 1834 the parishioners raised funds and the roof was covered with iron.

The interior is of a communal type. There are choirs above the entrance. There is a multi-tiered carved iconostasis in the altar part. Thanks to the efforts of Priest Fyodor Sitkevich, a new four-tiered iconostasis was built in the church in 1878 at the expense of the Orthodox brotherhood and parishioners. In 1889, a wooden fence was built around the temple.

At the beginning of the 20th century, there were about 2,000 parishioners. After the war in Soviet times, the church was closed and a grain warehouse was set up here. The iconostasis with ancient icons was taken to an Art museum in Minsk. After the collapse of the USSR, the church was returned to the faithful, where repairs were carried out.
