Sukhodol. St. Barbara's Church.
The village of Sukhodol has been known since the 16th century and is located a few kilometers from the border with Poland. At first, during the time of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, the local estate belonged to Stanislav Sukhodolsky and was part of the Brest district of the Brest Voivodeship. During the time of the Russian Empire, it was the Brest part ('uezd') of the Grodno province.
In 1869, a stone church was built in Sukhodol at the expense of a local well-to-do peasant, Julian Ivanovich Dubyago, who returned from working in the United States of America.
At first, there was a local tavern on the place where the temple was built. And the situation in the town got to the point where local men were drinking their entire salaries in this tavern. And one night, local women set fire to the inn. The innkeeper arrived from a neighboring town and began importing new building materials to rebuild the inn, to which the local wives replied that they would burn down this inn, but this time together with the owner. After that, the innkeeper left Sukhodol.
The villagers also raised funds for the church, and the temple was consecrated in honor of St. Joseph. The church was built in honor of the rescue from the terrorist Emperor Alexander II, who was assassinated on April 4, 1866.
The architecture of the church is very similar to the stone temples of the 17th – 18th centuries. The church was built of stone and then plastered. The building consists of 3 main parts: the vestibule, the main arch of the prayer hall and the apse. A two-tiered bell tower is built over the vestibule. The church is covered with a gable roof. The interior has a choir with a wooden carved fence. There is a single-tiered wooden iconostasis. In Soviet times, the church was closed and, after repairs, consecrated in 1992 in honor of St. Barbara.
