Turov. Church of All Saints.

The church is wooden, was erected in the years 1801-1810 by Archpriest Anthony Loiko. Now officially recognized as a monument of folk architecture.

The Church of All Saints survived, enduring the trials of three great wars (the Patriotic War of 1812, the First World War, the Great Patriotic War). Until 1930, it served mainly for funeral services. During its many years of existence it has never burned. After 1945, the church did not operate for some time - the premises served as a warehouse - and resumed services in 1980, for the 1000th anniversary of the city. In 2002, it was included in the State List of Historical and Cultural Values of the Republic of Belarus. In 2005, to celebrate the 1000th anniversary of the Turov diocese, gilded domes were erected on the temple.

In terms of plan, the building is a standard religious building. The 3-log church consists of a rectangular volume in which the vestibule and babinets are combined, a square-shaped prayer hall and an apse. Initially, the log houses were completed with hipped roofs with heads and crosses. At the beginning of the 20th century. the tents were replaced with double-pitched roofs, and a 2-tier hipped bell tower (octagonal to quadrangular) was built over the vestibule in the west. The vertically paneled facades are cut through by window openings (rectangular in the vestibule and with cut corners in the altar), the entrance is highlighted by a 2-pillar porch under a 2-pitched canopy. The Babinets opens into the prayer hall with a wide rectangular opening. The altar part is separated from the main volume by a 2-tier carved iconostasis. The Royal Doors in the Rococo style are decorated with rocailles and rosettes.

It was once a cemetery church and was used primarily for funeral services. Now the church is neatly painted blue, the cemetery is landscaped. Various services are held, including liturgies.

Small, modest, without pomp and decoration, the Church of All Saints stores great revered shrines: the icon of Cyril, Lawrence and Martin of Turov (with particles of relics), a particle of the relics of John of Kormyansky, the images of the Mother of God “Turov”, “Inexhaustible Chalice” and “Yurovich”. The image of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker on a metal sheet streams myrrh. On the territory of the church there is a memorial plaque in memory of Prince Konstantin Ostrozhsky, who was a champion of Orthodoxy.

One of the main attractions of the church is a two-meter stone cross of the 10th century, which, according to legend, sailed (against the current) to Turov from Kyiv in the year of the Baptism of Rus' by Prince Vladimir. The second such cross, after the consecration of the cathedral in honor of Saints Cyril and Lavrenty of Turov in 2013, was moved to its courtyard and installed on a special pedestal in the chapel. The third cross is kept in the Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross in the village of Pogost.
