Krupovo. Holy Trinity Church.

On the way between Lida and the town of Radun there is a small village of Krupovo. Right along the road to Krupovo stands the stone church of the Holy Trinity.


The first church in this place was founded in the 15th century. The money for the temple was donated by Anna Davoinova, who fulfilled the will of her husband. Their daughters Ulyana and Elena also joined the foundation of the Catholic church. In the 16th century, the local church was assigned to the orthodox church in Lida.


In the 18th century, the place belonged to the Lida leader Narbut, for whose money a Catholic chapel was built in 1766. By 1777, the church had 4 altars: the side of St. John of Padua, the Mother of God with an icon, the altar of St. John Nepomuk and the main one in honor of the Holy Trinity. In the 19th century, the place belonged to the Shukevichi and the church was described in 1851 as a wooden building sheathed in boards and covered with shingles. There are already 3 altars at the church: the side of the Mother of God and St. Joseph and the main one in honor of the Holy Trinity.


During the war with Poland, sometime in 1920, the church was destroyed and it was decided to build a stone church. Engineer E. Kulesh has developed a project for a new church. In 1925, construction of a new building began and was completed in 1928. The new church was consecrated by the Archbishop of Vilnius. The parish numbered about 400 people at that time. There were several bells at the church and each of them had its own name. The bell "Gregory" was from the old church and 4 new ones were brought from Germany: the largest "Bernardem" was created with the money of parishioners, the smaller one – "Francis" with the money of Ferdinand Eismont, "Jozef" with the money of priest Y. Sobolevsky and the smallest bell called "Pavel."


The church also worked in Soviet times.

The church is three-nave with one tower. A five-sided apse with 2 sacristy is attached to the prayer hall. There is a three-tiered bell tower above the entrance. The church is covered with a gable roof. A signature is built over the altar part. The interior has 3 wooden altars in the Neo-Gothic style.
