Milovidy. The Church of St. Sergius of Radonezh.

On the outskirts of the village of Milovidy, Baranovichi district, there is a stone Orthodox church, which was consecrated in honor of Sergius of Radonezh.

The first church in Milovidy was built during the time of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and was named after Boris and Gleb. A description of this temple is found in the materials of the Uniate churches of the Minsk and Novogrudok Cathedrals, and these documents are kept in Minsk at the National Historical Archive of the Republic of Belarus.


Borisoglebsky temple was built on the funds of Mstislavl voivodes Korsak and Bakanovsky. There were 112 people in the parish, and Roman Trokhimovich was the priest. The next wooden church was built and consecrated in honor of the Most Holy Theotokos.


The new stone building of the Church of St. Sergius of Radonezh was created during the Russian Empire in 1865 in a retrospective Russian style. The construction was carried out at public expense, and about seven thousand rubles were spent from the treasury. The church was consecrated in November 1888.


An Orthodox brotherhood has been established at the shrine since 1891. There was a parish school and a public school. The building was built according to canonical Orthodox traditions and consists of four main parts: a vestibule, a refectory, a prayer hall and an apse.
