Voistom. Holy Trinity Church.

There are several monuments of architecture and antiquity in the village of Voistom of the Smorgon District. To see everything, it's worth coming here for half a day, that's for sure. A stone Catholic church of the Holy Trinity has been built on the outskirts of the village.


 The first wooden church was built during the time of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in 1440. The sponsor of the shrine was Stefan Andrushkovich-Jadolgovich. He gave the church peasants, villages and land. Then Adam Andrushkovich, Matej Andrushko and Andrzej Jadolgovich donated funds to the church. After some time in the 16th century, the church was transferred to the Calvinist collection. In the second half of the 17th century, the Catholic Church was mentioned in documents again.


 During the war of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth with the Tsarstvo of Moscow in the middle of the 17th century, the church was destroyed. In 1674, the church was rebuilt and consecrated in honor of the Holy Trinity. In 1745, the last wooden church was built, which burned down during the First World War. In 1927, the construction of the stone temple began, which lasted for a long time.


 The monument is a rectangular volume in plan, which is raised to a high basement made of rubble stone. The main volume is covered with a gable roof. There are three altars in the interior. The main altar with the icon of the Holy Trinity. The side altars are of St. Casimir and St. Anna.
