Lunin. Boris and Gleb Church.
The village of Lunin is located on the M-10 highway between Pinsk and Luninets. It was first mentioned in written sources in the 15th century during the period of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
It belonged first to Nemirov, and then to the Polotsk voivode Stanislav Davoina.
At the end of the 16th century, Prince Nikolai Drutsky–Lyubetsky became the owner of the village, and this family owned the town until the First World War.
Pinsk castellan Frantisek Drutsky-Lyubetsky owned the village in the middle of the 18th century. His youngest son, Jerome, was in charge of the house. Jerome was succeeded by his son Edwin Caesarius Adam (1828-1901). And the last owner of Lunin was Edwin's son Cesary Frantisek Drutsky-Lubetsky (1878-1944).
After the second partition of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1793, Lunin became part of the Russian Empire. It belonged to the Pinsk district of the Minsk province.
In 1794, a stone church in the Baroque style was built. At the beginning of the 19th century, under Prince Geranim, a stone palace was built on the estate and a landscape park was planted.
In 1824, a wooden Orthodox church was built on the foundation of Prince Drutsky–Lyubetsky. Later in 1873, a bell tower with five bells was erected near the church.
After the Great Patriotic War, the church was closed in Soviet times. The building was converted into a warehouse, and then there was a gym at a local school. At the end of the existence of the USSR, the church was handed over to Orthodox believers and the renovation of the premises began. In 1994, the church started working again.
The church was built in the traditions of folk wooden architecture. The building consists of four main parts: the vestibule, the refectory, the prayer hall and the apse.
