Novye Novoselki. Ruins of the 18th century Jesuit church.

       There is a stone Catholic church in the town of Novye Novoselki in the Nesvizh district. The temple was built in the center of the village at the local cemetery.

          The Catholic church was built in the 18th century during the time of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The Catholic Jesuit Order built the Catholic shrine. At that time, this order was considered the most powerful and influential in Europe and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The Order owned numerous churches, monasteries, and landed estates.

           It is believed that during the time of the Russian Empire in the early 19th century, the church fell into disrepair and part of the building collapsed. Only the part of the temple where the altar is located is well preserved.

        In 1863-1864, an anti-Russian uprising took place on our lands under the leadership of K. Kalinovsky. Many Catholic churches and monasteries were closed or were confiscated. The church in Novye Novoselki was also taken away from the Catholic faithful and handed over to the Orthodox. The church was rebuilt as a small Orthodox church.

         After the Soviet–Polish war and the Peace of Riga in 1921, the town came under the rule of the Polish state until the arrival of the Soviet Army in 1939. During this period, the building was turned over to a Catholic church. The temple was closed after the Great Patriotic War.

      The monument has now fallen into disrepair and is being destroyed.
