Mankovichi. Assumption Church.

In 1871, on the site of a burnt-out wooden church in the village of Mankovichi, the princes of Drutsky-Lyubetsky built a new stone church. Construction began in early 1855 on the initiative of Prince Vladimir Drutsky-Lyubetsky, a friend of Emperor Nicholas I. Serfs from the surrounding villages worked during the construction of the temple. Its construction lasted 17 years. Originally conceived as a Uniate church, it was completed as an Orthodox church and consecrated in honor of the Dormition of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In 1871, the church was solemnly consecrated.

After the arson in November 1943, documents about the village and its inhabitants were lost, but valuables such as church books and icons were saved.

In the post-war years, the temple remained in an abandoned state for a long time, and partial repairs began only in the 1950s.

During the Soviet period, the church was closed and rabbits were bred in its premises for the collective farm.

In the early 1990s, the church was returned to the faithful and services are now held there. Thanks to the efforts of Father Nikolai Kolyada, restoration began in 1989, and the church was consecrated on August 29, 1991 in honor of its 120th anniversary.

This architectural monument is today an example of the retrospective Russian style. Nowadays, the church is again actively used as an Orthodox church.
