Lyskovo. Church of the Nativity of the Mother of God.

In the very center of the village of Lyskovo, Pruzhany district, there is an Orthodox wooden church, which was consecrated in honor of the Nativity of the Mother of God.


 The first church in Lyskovo is mentioned during the time of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, which was built in 1725. The temple, worst of all, first belonged to Uniate believers, and then during the time of the Russian Empire it was transferred to Orthodox believers. At the end of the 19th century, the church was dismantled, and church items were moved to the former church, which was rebuilt as an Orthodox church after the uprising of 1863-1864.


 During the First World War, German troops used the church as a hospital and then as a warehouse.

 After the Peace of Riga in 1921, the building was returned to Catholics and the shrine was used as a church.


 In 1925, the Orthodox priest in Lyskovo, Peter Radkevich, received permission to build a new Orthodox church, as services were still held in the chapel at the cemetery. The construction of the new temple cost 40 thousand zlotys and was carried out according to the project of Stanislav Petrovsky from Belostok in 1930-1933. In the autumn of 1933, the consecration of the new Orthodox Church took place in a solemn atmosphere in the presence of numerous people and guests.


 The church was built in the traditions of Belarusian folk wooden architecture with elements of Zakopane style and Art Nouveau.
