The Neo-Gothic church is the main attraction of the small village.

The church was built in 1909 on the site of an older wooden church for the Catholic community of the village of Osova. It became the center of the spiritual life of the locals. For many years, the church has served as a place of worship and various church rites.

 Today it is the main attraction of the village of Osova and a cultural and historical value of Belarus. The church is characterized by typical Neo-Gothic elements, such as sharp arches, tall windows and decorative elements. Its facade is decorated with stained glass windows, which add a special atmosphere inside the building. A special feature in the construction of the church is that natural stone was used in the construction of the walls and rubble masonry was used, giving the temple a picturesque appearance.

The church is now in a completely renovated condition. The interior of the church is also worthy of tourists' attention. The interior of the church is quite richly decorated, with colorful murals on the walls. An ancient working organ has been preserved here.

The area near the temple is surrounded by a low stone fence, erected in the early 20th century, which is also made of natural stone. The territory of the church is beautifully landscaped and resembles a small landscaped park.

Currently, the Church of St. George continues to function and attracts both locals and tourists interested in the history and culture of the region. It is also an object of cultural heritage of Belarus.

The village of Osova is surrounded by picturesque landscapes, which makes visiting the church not only a spiritual, but also an aesthetic experience. The Church of St. George in Osova is not only an architectural monument, but also an important part of the cultural identity of the region, reflecting the history and traditions of the local population.
