Patsevichi. Church of the Nativity of the Mother of God.
On the way from the district center of Mosty to the city of Zelva, there is a small town of Patsevichi in Mosty district. On the outskirts of Patsevichi, at the local cemetery, there is a wooden Orthodox church, which was consecrated in honor of the Nativity of the Mother of God.
During the time of the Russian Empire in 1880, Patsevichi was part of the Kozlovsky volost of the Grodno province of the Slonim district. In 1905, there were 124 inhabitants. After the Peace of Riga, it was part of the Polish state from 1921 to 1939. During this period, the town was part of the Novogrudok voivodeship of the Slonim district of the rural municipality called Kozlovschyna. Now it is a very small village with a population of only 25 people.
A wooden church was built at the local cemetery in 1867. The monument was erected in the traditions of folk wooden architecture. The building has a rectangular shape in plan. The main facade is decorated with four pilasters and is completed with a trapezoidal pediment. The building is covered with a gable roof. On the roof above the facade and the altar there are onion domes on octagonal drums.
