Luki. Resurrection Church.

An Orthodox Resurrection Church has been built in the village of Luki in the Korelichi district. The place was first mentioned in historical documents during the time of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in the 15th century.


 At that time it was a small village belonging to the Grand Duke Vytautas. The Prince handed over the Luki to the Catholic church in the city of Novogrudok. In 1517, King Sigismund I 'Old' confirmed the privilege of the church. In the 18th century, the property of the Radziwill magnates was part of the Mir County. After the partitions of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth as part of the Minsk province of the Novogrudok district. In the 19th century it belonged to Prince Wittgenstein. In 1921-1939, it was part of the Polish state.


 During the time of the Russian Empire, in 1898, a wooden Orthodox Holy Resurrection Church was built at the local cemetery. The monument was erected in the traditions of folk wooden architecture. The main volume is rectangular in plan, a log cabin, which is covered with a gable roof. The main facade is completed with a pediment in the form of a trapezoid. An onion dome is built on a multi-faceted drum above the facade.


There is also a monument to the countrymen who died during the Great Patriotic War and a monument to the agricultural commune in the early years of Soviet power.
