Rogotno. Church of the Holy Guardian Angels.

In the town of Rogotno, the first wooden church was built in the 15th century. The church was named after St. Bartholomew. In the 17th century, the church passed to the Calvinists. The building was destroyed during the 17th century war and restored thanks to the efforts of the statesman of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, magnate Andrei Zavisha. During the Northern War in the 18th century, the temple was destroyed again.


At the beginning of the 19th century, Rogotno belonged to the Shukevichi, and then passed to the Volovichi.

The new stone church was built in 1840 in the classical style. After the anti–Russian uprising of 1863-1864, the church was transferred to the Orthodox church, which was consecrated in honor of the Nativity of the Virgin. After the Treaty of Riga in 1921, the building was transferred to the Polish state and the building was returned to the Catholics. After the war in Soviet times, the church was closed and a warehouse for a granary was made here. In 1989, at the end of the existence of the Soviet Union, the church was returned to the faithful. Restoration was carried out and the church opened its doors to parishioners.


The building is rectangular in plan. Covered with a gable roof. The main facade is double-towered. The bell towers are squares in the plan. The facade is decorated with six Doric columns. There is a triangular pediment between the towers. There is a stone bell tower in front of the church. The territory of the church is surrounded by a rubble stone fence around the perimeter.
