Smolyanitsa. Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker.
There is a stone Orthodox church of St. Nicholas in Smolyanitsa, Pruzhany district. A small wooden church was built here by local peasants in 1821. The parishioners purchased all church supplies at their own expense.
The new stone church in Smolyanitsa was set in the summer of 1867. The construction was carried out at the expense of the state budget and 5,559 rubles of funds were spent. Peasants and parishioners helped with the construction as much as they could: they brought sand and water, building stone and bricks. Parishioners used their own funds to purchase church supplies, including crosses, banners, and clothing for priests.
The surveyor Valerian Divnogorsky donated a bell for 200 silver rubles, which weighed 10 pounds.
The church was consecrated in the winter of 1872. And the old wooden church was moved to the cemetery .
After the Great Patriotic War, the church was closed in Soviet times. The building fell into an abandoned state and began to collapse. After the collapse of the USSR, the church was returned to Orthodox believers and restoration of the monument began.
The building was built in the Pseudo-Russian style and consists of four main parts: a vestibule, a refectory, a prayer hall and an apse. The building has been renovated in recent years. The surrounding area is landscaped.
