Koshubintsy. The Church of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

A wooden Catholic church has been built in the Grodno region in the village of Koshubintsy. The church was consecrated in honor of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The church was built during the time of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in 1750.


 The Catholic Jesuit Order from Grodno founded the church. A Jesuit mission operated at the temple, and over time a cemetery was established nearby. In the 19th century, during the Russian Empire, the place belonged to the Bogatkov family. The miraculous icon of Our Lady 'Snezhnaya' was kept in the main altar. The icon was in the church until 1939, and it has not been preserved to this day. The number of parishioners numbered fifteen hundred believers. The chapel in Skidel belonged to the parish. After the Great Patriotic War, the church was closed in 1962, and over time the building fell into disrepair.

At the end of the existence of the USSR in 1989, the church was returned to the faithful and the renovation of the church began.


The monument has a rectangle in the plan. An apse is attached to the main volume.

The interior has a communal building. There are three altars. The main altar is an icon of the Mother of God Immaculate. The side altars in the church have a two-tiered structure. The left altar – above the icon of St. Nicholas is the icon of Jesus the Merciful. In the right altar, above the icon of the Most Holy Heart of the Lord Jesus, there is an icon of the Mother of God of Ostrobramskaya.
