Podorosk. Holy Trinity Church
In the town of Podorosk, an 18th-century church and a 19th-century noble estate of Chechots have been preserved to our time.
The first mention of the church in written sources dates back to 1634, when Princess Prokopova Dolskaya gave a fundus (donation) to the church. The first church building was wooden.
In the 18th century, the town of Podorosk was owned by the Grabovskys, who in 1780 built a new stone temple, which was consecrated in honor of St. Elizabeth. The documents for 1808 mention a church in Podoroska, with 300 men and 294 women parishioners.
In the 19th century, the church had a parish school, which eventually became a public school. In 1897, 66 children were enrolled in the school.
The Orthodox church worked only until 1925, and then it was transferred to Catholics. In Soviet times, the church was closed and used as a granary warehouse. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the church was returned to Orthodox believers. Repairs were carried out, and in the autumn of 1991 the church was consecrated in honor of the Holy Trinity.
The church was built in the Baroque style. It has a rectangular volume in plan, which is covered with a gable roof. There is a two-tiered bell tower above the narthex. A semicircular apse with side sacristy is attached to the prayer hall from the back.
