Remel. Church of St. Michael the Archangel.

There is a place called Remel in Stolin district, not far from David-Gorodok. In the middle of the village there is a unique wooden Orthodox church, which was consecrated in honor of St. Michael the Archangel.

Remel was first mentioned in historical sources in 1452. In different periods, these places were owned by Goroplyady, Romulty, Treskovsky and Shpiganovichi. After the Peace of Riga, Remel was part of the Luninets district of the Polesie voivodeship in 1921-1939.

The wooden Church of St. Michael was built in the era of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in 1762. This church is a unique architectural monument, as it is still covered with shingles – its roof is covered with thin wooden chips, as many buildings in Belarus were once covered in ancient times. In 1903, the bell tower, which stood separately from the church, was demolished. And a new bell tower was added to the main volume from the western facade.

After the Great Patriotic War, the church was closed in Soviet times. A library was opened in the building. Some of the temple items were looted and destroyed. At the end of the existence of the Soviet Union, the shrine was handed over to Orthodox believers. Repairs were carried out and in 1989 the church reopened its doors.

The wooden church consists of 4 main parts: a vestibule, a refectory, a prayer hall and an apse. A bell tower is built over the vestibule. The main volume is covered with a hip roof. The interior is of a communal type.

At the expense of parishioners, a new stone Orthodox church was built in the village, which was consecrated by Archbishop Stefan of Pinsk and Luninets.
