Radoshkovichi. Holy Trinity Church

On the way from Minsk to Molodechno there is a small town Radoshkovichi. The first written mention dates back to the 15th century, when Vilna castellan Peter Senka Gedigoldovich in 1447 financed a Catholic church in honor of the Holy Trinity here. In the 16th and 19th centuries, a fair was held annually in Radoshkovichi on the Holy Trinity in the town. In the 19th century, an ancient wooden barrack church was destroyed in a fire.


In 1855, at the foundation of the landowner Volodkovich and at the expense of the believers, the laying of a new stone church took place. By 1859, the new church was built in the style of late classicism. In September 1860, the church was consecrated under the old name of the Holy Trinity. Several churches and chapels were also attributed to the church in Radoshkovichi. In 1882, the Belarusian national poet Yanka Kupala was baptized in the Radoshkovichi church.


After the war, the church was closed and a workshop for the manufacture of ceramic dishes worked here. Since 19090, the church has been returned to the faithful and restoration has begun. An icon of the Holy Trinity was installed in the main altar, the left side altar was consecrated in honor of Our Lady of Czestochowa, and the right one in honor of God's Mercy.


The church is three-nave. It has 2 towers on the main facade. The bell towers have 3 tiers. There is a triangular pediment between the towers. The main volume of the building is rectangular in plan. Covered gable roof. The interior has choirs. There is a stone fence around the church with a three-arched gate.
