Pogost-Zagorodsky. Church of Saints Cyril and Methodius

In 1769, a wooden church was built. In the XVIII century, this church was Uniate, but in 1794 the Uniate parishioners voluntarily converted to Orthodoxy. Over time, the church fell into disrepair, and a brick church was built in its place in 1899.

The village of Pogost-Zagorodsky, located in Pinsk district, is located near the lake and the arm of the Bobrika River, as well as near the military communication road leading from Mozyr to Pinsk. This place is 210 km away from the provincial town and 50 km from the district town.

There is no information about the construction of the first, most ancient church in the Churchyard either in oral or written sources. The current parish church, located near the village, was built in 1769 by the owner of the Churchyard, Prince Franz Lubetsky, and renovated in 1838 by Prince Konstantin Lubetsky.

The church building is wooden, made in the shape of an oblong cross, with one blind dome, a shingled roof, three entrance doors and one row of windows without iron bars. The walls of the church are strong, but the roof and dome are dilapidated. The interior of the church, including the altar, occupies approximately 35 square fathoms. The ceiling is floored with boards and supported by six wooden pillars; the ceiling and walls are whitewashed, and the floor is made of brick, while there is no salt.

The church archive has kept metric books since 1797. The church is surrounded by a wooden fence consisting of pillars and a fence. The bell tower is located in the front part of the church and contains four bells weighing 5, 2, 2 and 1 pounds, respectively. The parish has five cemeteries, three of which have cemetery churches. There are two attached churches in the parish: one stone in the village of Pogost, the other wooden in the village of Bogdanovka, both converted from churches in 1870.
