Lyubishchitsy. Church of St. Anne.

The Church of St. Anne in the village of Lyubishchitsy has a rather atypical architecture and is not at all like other Orthodox churches in Belarus. Approaching the building, you are even surprised at first that this is a religious building. After all, the church is somewhat reminiscent of a fairy-tale castle.


The temple was built in the 19th century, according to some sources, in 1845, according to others, in 1857. The church was built in the classical style and has three main parts: a vestibule, a prayer hall and an apse. The main volume is square in plan with two side naves. The apse is pentagonal. The main volume of the building is tetrahedral on the second tier, turning into an octahedron and completed with a tent with 5 domes. The interior of the church is decorated with colorful frescoes. Previously, the entrance to the temple was decorated with a beautiful canopy and decor.


A memorial cross has been erected near the church. In recent years, the church building has been restored. The church is active. There is a parking lot and a grocery store near the church.
