Cathedral of the Resurrection of the Lord

The Cathedral of the Resurrection of the Lord is an Orthodox church, a good example of Russian-style architecture in Belarus. Before the construction of the modern cathedral, there was a wooden church, built between 1620 and 1648, which burned down in the 1860s. The present cathedral was therefore erected between 1874 and 1907. The cathedral was built by highly skilled masons from Ivyanets, and artists Elishevsky and Trutnev (Russian) from Vilnius were invited to decorate the interior.

Church of St. John the Theologian

The Church of St. John the Theologian is a wooden Orthodox church located in the village of Damashany. The village has had a church since 1507, but the present church is modelled on the renovation of the church at the beginning of the 20th century. The church survived World War II but was destroyed by the Soviet authorities after the war. The restoration of the church began in 1994 and was completed in 1997.
