Kazimirovo. Holy Dormition Convent

The monastery was founded by the noble Kazimir Yuditsky, a representative of the coat of arms "Radvan", in 1713. The Yuditsky family originated from Poland and had possessions in the Rechitsa municipality, where its representatives repeatedly held various positions. Pan Kazimir was a deputy from Rechitsa since 1701 and served as marshal and mayor of Rechitsa.

The monastery was located in a deserted area. Yuditsky also built a small settlement next to the monastery, named after its patron saint, Kazimirovo. For the maintenance of the monastery, Kazimir Yuditsky allocated the village of Kosagi, in which about 100 peasants lived, consisting of 26 courtyards.

The wooden monastery church with three domes was dedicated to the Dormition of the Mother of God. All the buildings of the monastery, including a two-story bell tower, a residential monastic building with a cookery, granaries, a barn and stalls, a two-story granary with a cellar, a distillery, a bathhouse, a threshing floor, a hayloft and a stable by the river, were also wooden.

Initially, the Kazimirovo Monastery was a men's monastery. In 1800, six monks lived in the monastery. In 1812, the monastery buildings were destroyed by Napoleon's troops. In 1839, the monastery was closed, and the Holy Dormition Church became a parish church. The monastery's archive was moved to the Minsk Ecclesiastical Consistory. The parish Church of the Holy Dormition in Kazimirovo existed until 1933, after which the church was dismantled for logs, and the priests were subjected to repression.

The Holy Dormition Orthodox parish in the village of Kazimirovo was revived in early 1996. At the meeting of believers, attended by about 60 people, the dean of the Zhlobinsky district, Archpriest Vasily Pilipenko, expressed the hope that the community would soon have its own prayer room. These hopes have been fulfilled.

In 2000, the Holy Synod of the Belarusian Orthodox Church decided to establish a convent based on the parish from among the nuns who arrived in 1998. Construction of a new wooden church has begun in Kazimirovo.

The current Holy Dormition Church is built in the form of an equi-pointed cross. Above the vestibule of the temple stands a tent-roofed bell tower, completed with an Orthodox cross. The altar part is also completed with an onion-shaped dome on a rectangular drum. The roof of the temple is covered with sheet iron. On August 9, 2002, the Kazimirovo Holy Dormition Church of the Zhlobin deanery was consecrated.
