Kunosa. Church of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

    A wooden Orthodox church of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary was built in the village of Kunosa in the Nesvizh district. Kunosa was first mentioned in historical sources in the 16th century. During this period, during the era of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, the village belonged to the Pats magnates, and then to the Radziwills.


           In 1730, the Uniate wooden Church of the Annunciation was mentioned in documents. In 1815, the Radziwills renovated the parish Church of the Annunciation. There was a parish school. The parish included 13 nearby villages and had 2,226 parishioners.


           In 1877, the ancient church was destroyed by fire. In 1887, a new church was built.

           The church was built on the outskirts of the village in the style of folk wooden architecture with features of the retrospective Russian style. It has a centric cross-domed structure. It consists of three main parts: the vestibule, the prayer hall and the apse. Side vestibules are attached to the prayer hall. An octagonal light drum with 5 onion domes is erected above the main volume.

        The interior has a two-tiered iconostasis from the 19th century.
