Lyakhovichi. St. Joseph's Church.

The Catholic Church of St. Joseph is located on the outskirts of the Lyakhovichi district center. The Catholic shrine was built in 1907 at the expense of a representative of the ancient family Yuri Reitan. Priest K. Vankovich made great efforts to build the temple.

The shrine was consecrated in 1910 by Bishop Jan Teplyak (1857-1926) - Doctor of Theology, Roman Catholic church leader in Belarus and Lithuania.

After the Great Patriotic War, Father Vaclav Piontkovsky, who served in the parish in the neighboring town of Medvedichi, came to the church for service. After some time, the church was closed and the building was rebuilt as a medical facility –a polyclinic was built here. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, after some time, the building was returned to the Catholic faithful and repairs were carried out.

In September 2019, Bishop of Pinsk Anthony Demyanko consecrated the church.

The church was built in the Neo-Gothic style.

It is a three-nave basilica with one tower above the main facade. The bell tower above the facade is eight on four. The main entrance is decorated in the form of a pointed portal. Buttresses were attached to the walls around the perimeter of the church, which ended with pinnacles. The interior had a Gothic altar and an ambon. The bell tower was demolished after the war, when a polyclinic was built here. The buttresses on the side walls and the semicircular apse, which is attached to the main volume, have been preserved to this day.
