Stavy. St. Onufry's Church.

The village of Stavy, Kamenets district, is located between Brest and Volchin, near the border with Poland. The first church was built here sometime in the 15th century and was named after Michael the Archangel. The temple was located on the outskirts of the town on the so-called Popovaya Gora on the banks of the Pulva River. In 1800, during a fire, the old church perished in flames. A new temple was built on the site, which lasted until the First World War. The church was severely damaged during the military operations in 1914 – a shell hit it and severely damaged the building. Later, the church was dismantled and residential buildings were built from it after the war. In addition to the Orthodox church, there was also a Catholic church in the village, which was built in 1730.

The church was a communal type of building. In the 19th century, the church was transferred to the Orthodox church, which was consecrated in honor of St. Onufry. The church began to work after the anti-Russian uprising of 1863-1864, when Catholic churches and monasteries began to close en masse.

St. Onufriy's Church has been operating since 1868. After the church's conversion to the Orthodox faithful, the building was slightly rebuilt and a vestibule with a bell tower and side sacristy were added to it. According to some reports, the church was returned to Catholics again during the time of the Polish state in the early 20th century. During the Soviet period, the temple was closed. The church was returned to believers only with the collapse of the USSR, and after repairs, the church began to work in 1993.

Next to the town of Stavy, the village of Ogorodniki is located across the river, and therefore, in some sources, the church is attributed to Ogorodniki.
