Lida. Church of St. George the Victorious.

In the city of Lida, a little away from the historical center, there is the Church of St. George in the old cemetery. The church was built in 1875 at the local cemetery on the foundation of merchant Anthony Vasnevsky.

The temple was wooden, built in pseudo-Russian style with elements of Belarusian folk architecture. A bell tower with a high spire and an onion is built over the narthex. Relics from the house church of the Lida Castle were transferred to the chapel.

At the beginning of the 20th century, after the Treaty of Riga, when Lida became part of the Polish state, St. George's Church was the only Orthodox church in the city. In the 1920s, an extension was made to the church.

In the 1990s, the church began to be renovated and expanded. A completely new temple was built from silicate bricks and at the same time, the old wooden church turned out to be in the interior of the new building. And the design turned out to be a temple within a temple in the full sense of the word.

In September 2014, a memorial plaque in honor of Prince Konstantin Ostrogsky was installed on the wall of St. George's Church, as a tribute to the memory and respect for the outstanding public, military figure and defender of the Orthodox faith.

A few years ago, the old wooden church was dismantled. The new church is a monumental rectangular volume in plan.
