Naroch. The Church of St. Andrew the Apostle.

The Parish Church of St. St. Andrew the Apostle was originally wooden, and was built in 1651. In 1746, the church was rebuilt at the expense of the Oshmyansky castellan Martin Oskerko. During this period, the church was described as a large shrine, with six altars. After the fire of 1862, the church was restored at the expense of rector Ludwig Minitsky and Titus Sventorzhetsky. At that time, there were three altars in the temple, in the main altar there was an icon of the Virgin Mary with the Infant Jesus in a silver frame with gilt elements. A drawing by the artist Alfred Romer from the neighboring Korolinovo estate (Postavsky district, Vitebsk region) has been preserved under the title "The Old temple in the Kobylnik of the Sventsyansk district" (1880). This drawing allows you to see what a wooden church looked like in the XIX century, with the characteristic features of the Uniate church.

(Kobylniki is the former name of the town, which in the middle of the XX century became known as Naroch).

On September 2, 1897, a new stone church was laid. Ignatius Rossolovsky was the main organizer of the construction. The church was built with donations from local parishioners. The construction lasted four years and was completed on August 4, 1901. Upon completion of construction, the new church was consecrated on September 9, 1901, and the old wooden one was dismantled. A wooden bell tower has been preserved from the old church, renovated in 1995 and 2019. However, the interior decoration of the temple continued, and only on July 25, 1904, the temple was opened by Bishop Edward Ropp of Vilna.

Later, the church was closed, but the faithful continued to gather there without a priest. After the collapse of the USSR, monks from the Barefoot Carmelite Order arrived at St. Andrew's Church. The first rector of the church during the time of independent Belarus was Fr. Augustine Kwiatkowski. In 2004, the centenary of the consecration of the stone building of St. Andrew's Church was celebrated. The solemn mass was conducted by Cardinal Kazimir Sventek.
