Lyakhovtsy. Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker.

The village of Lyakhovtsy, Malorita district, is located in the wilderness of the Belarusian Polesie among forests and swamps. To get here, it will be easier to drive to the district center of Malorita, and then drive east towards the town of Mokran.

Two wooden Orthodox churches have been preserved in Lyakhovtsy to this day: the Church of the Nativity of the Mother of God and the chapel at the local cemetery in honor of St. Nicholas.

In some historical sources, the church of St. Nicholas is called a chapel, and in some it is called a church. The chapel was built during the Russian Empire in 1835. The building is wooden, built in the traditions of folk architecture. This is a four-walled log cabin, which is covered with a hip roof. The building consists of a vestibule and a prayer hall. The interior features a 19th–century iconostasis with ancient icons from the 17th and 18th centuries: "George the Victorious", "The Supplication of Joachim and Anna", "The Last Supper", "Descent from the Cross" and others.

It is from this temple that the famous icon of the "birth of the Mother of God" of the 17th century originates, which is now located in Minsk at the National Art Museum of the Republic of Belarus. This precious icon was found and examined by the expedition of the State Art Museum of the BSSR. The icon was restored and restored at the Restoration Institute by craftsmen A. Kraslin and S. Filatov in 1979. In the image, for example, the maids are depicted in the outfits of Belarusian peasant women, which is a valuable monument of iconography and ethnography.
