Zaostrovechye. Church of St. Dionysius the Martyr.
There is an Orthodox wooden church of the Holy Martyr Dionysius in the village of Zaostrovechye in the Kletsk district. There were several religious buildings of different periods and styles in this village.
After the Soviet-Polish war and the Peace of Riga, from 1921 to 1939, the town was under the rule of the Polish state. During this period, a large wooden Catholic church was built at the local cemetery. After the Great Patriotic War, the church was dismantled. In 1997, a new stone Catholic chapel of St. Anne was built in the cemetery.
In Polish times, in the 1930s, they began to build a stone Catholic church in the center of the village. But the temple was not completed, and after the war the building was adapted for a carpool.
There is an ancient Orthodox church in the center of Zaostrovechye. The Orthodox Church of St. Dionysius the Martyr was built in the 19th century during the time of the Russian Empire. According to another version, the temple was built during the time of the Polish state in 1933. It is possible that the temple was built in the 19th century, and rebuilt in the 1930s.
The monument was erected in the traditions of wooden folk architecture. The building consists of three main parts: a vestibule, a prayer hall and an apse. A multi-tiered bell tower is built above the vestibule: two eights above two fours. The interior is of a communal type. There is a two-tiered iconostasis.
