Kosino. Assumption Church.
A wooden Orthodox Assumption Church was built in the Logoi district in the village of Kosino. The place was first mentioned in the 16th century during the time of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
In the documents, the first wooden Holy Dormition Church appeared in 1763. At that time, the church belonged to Uniate believers. The church was a parish church and it included several other towns and villages belonging to Count Tyshkevich: Prudishche, Kartsovshchizna, Machuzhichi, Khatsenov, Tumarovshchina and Mgla.
In 1773, Anthony Tyshkevich built a new church. Tyshkevich was the owner of the village of Kosino in those days. The count handed over two haymaking plots on the Gaina river for the maintenance of the temple. In documents from the time of the Russian Empire in 1806, the church in Kosino is referred to as the Church of St. George.
In 1841, the wooden chapel of the Archangel Michael in the cemetery in the village of Vysokoe belonged to the parish of the Kosino temple. In the spring of 1860, Archbishop Mikhail Golubovich of Minsk and Bobruisk visited the church in Kosino. In the autumn of 1861, a chapel was consecrated in the village of Izbitsa, which was assigned to the temple in Kosino. The chapel was funded by Pan Robert Raditsev.
The new Assumption Church in Kosino was built in 1865. Merchant Pavel Kuznetsov donated a chalice and several other church items for the church.
After the revolution, the church was closed. During the Great Patriotic War, the service was resumed. The temple was closed after the war and a warehouse was placed in the building. The shrine was restored in the 1990s.
