The Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Yasofat Kuntsevich. The church in the former suburb of Sopotskina-Teolin was built in 1789. After the suppression of the national liberation uprising of 1863-64, the church was closed by the tsarist authorities, and in 1879 the building was transferred to the Moscow church. A convent is located here. In 1916, the church was returned to the Catholics. In 1935-39, the church was rebuilt by the efforts of priests Peter Kotlevsky and Jozef Perkovsky. During the Second World War, the building was significantly damaged. After the war, the believers restored the building at their own expense. In Soviet times, the temple was not closed, in the 1980s two towers were built on the main facade. Inside there are a number of memorial signs and beautiful stained glass windows.

We drove past on the Augustovsky canal, saw this Church and decided to take a look. I was surprised that everything was in Polish. If you're around, it's worth a look. One of the oldest churches
