Novaya Mysh. Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord.
Near Baranovichi, just 1 kilometer from the M1 highway, there is an interesting old village called Novaya Mysh. The name of the place comes from the Myshanka stream. During the era of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, a castle was built here, in which the Belarusian military leader Jan Karol Chodkiewicz was born. During the existence of Novaya Mysh, many events took place here and several old buildings have been preserved: a church, a tavern and a Catholic church.
A church with a very unusual history and architecture. The church building is brick, built in 1825 on the site of a former wooden church destroyed by fire. And the previous church was built in the 17th century with the money of the magnate-vice-chancellor of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania Kazimierz Lev Sapieha.
The building is rectangular in plan. It is covered with a gable roof. The main facade has a portico, four pairs of columns and a triangular pediment. The church has one nave.
At the end of the 19th century, interior elements from another Benedictine church, closed in Nesvizh during the Russian Empire, were installed in the church.
A Rococo organ and an 18th-century pulpit, and three different 17th-century wooden altars were installed.
The church houses the miraculous icon of the Bialynitskaya Mother of God. The interior of the church is decorated with sculptures of saints, as well as a pelican bird feeding its chicks with its flesh. The main altar is two-tiered and decorated with bunches of grapes, shells and plants. A bell tower was built in front of the church. The church is surrounded by a brick fence with gates. Behind the church there is a monument to the Belarusian and Polish poet Jan Czechot (1796-1847). Across the square from the church there is an Orthodox church from the 19th century.
