Perkovichi. Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
There is an Orthodox Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Drogichin district in the village of Perkovichi. The temple is located on the outskirts of the village at the manor and park ensemble of the Visloukh family.
The first church was built during the time of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in the 16th century at the expense of the owner of the town, the Uniate Bishop Kirill Terletsky of Lutsk and Ostrog. The church was wooden on a stone foundation and consecrated like the Assumption Church. The temple had two towers and a dome. The interior had three altars, which are made in the technique of artistic carving and the royal gates. It was in this church that Kirill Terletsky was buried in 1607. A granite tombstone with an inscription was also placed in the temple. In the 17th century, the wooden church was destroyed during numerous wars.
The new temple was financed by the Brest podkormiy Zenon Visloukh around 1770. The church belonged to Uniate believers. The temple was completed in 1805 by Zenon's son Victor. A crypt was created in the building, where representatives of the Visloukh family were buried and Kirill Terletsky was buried. In the 19th century, during the Russian Empire, the union was banned and the church was handed over to Orthodox believers.
In Soviet times, the crypt was looted and walled up. After the war, the church was closed. The shrine was handed over to the faithful in 1990. The monument was built in the classical style. The temple is single-nave.
At the end of the 19th century, Terletsky's tombstone was well researched. Now the tombstone is in Minsk in the Museum of Ancient Belarusian Culture.
