An active Orthodox church in the classical style, built in 1810.

The first mention of the Church of the Intercession of the Holy Mother of God is associated with the events of the war of 1812. It is known that the church building was used as a rest stop for the army of the French Emperor Napoleon I.

The Church of the Intercession of the Holy Virgin is the only church in Belarus where all corners are rounded. This is its distinctive feature. The interior of the temple has fresco paintings in the classical style with images of biblical scenes. There are also beautiful Christian paintings on the vaulted ceiling and side walls of the altar.

The church functioned until the end of the 1920s.

Then, before the Great Patriotic War, the church was closed. During the war, it was opened, in the post-war period the church continued its work and continues to operate to this day. In 2002, the icons were renewed, new painting was made. The temple also contains ancient icons, an ancient iconostasis.

In 2010, in honor of the church's 200th anniversary, a stone cross was erected near the temple.

There is a bell tower near the church. Previously, a parish school operated at the church.

There is a natural spring of water with healing water here, consecrated in memory of the 1020th anniversary of the baptism of Rus. In 2008, it was improved.

The temple is ancient, it is definitely worth seeing. Over 200 years it has seen a lot - wars, revolutions, and has experienced decline. The church has undergone considerable restoration work and it is incredibly gratifying that it is still in operation today! It is modest here, but very calm and cozy.
