This is an extraordinary place, the ancient church is very beautiful, every icon is in a towel, stained glass windows with saints on the windows, everything is lovingly maintained both in the temple and on the territory. In the temple there is a miraculous icon of the Theotokos, the All-Queen, full of grace from the people whom she helped through their prayer🙏
It's a beautiful place. It's quiet and sunny. The breath of time is felt. Especially in the ancient wall inscriptions, carefully uncovered and preserved by the servants of the temple. A sample of a castle-type temple. It is quite rare in the Orthodox tradition. And, of course, the miraculous icon of the Mother of God deserves special attention.
Today we were passing through this wonderful place. Unfortunately, they did not have time to close, the temple is open from 9.00-17.00. I really wanted to look at the miraculous icon and inscriptions on the walls dating back to 1213. The temple is very ancient, originally it was a Prussian fortress that stood at the confluence of 2 streams. A blessed place, quiet, calm, time is tangible here
An amazing monument of antiquity, religion and culture!!! I advise everyone to visit in person! The place is silent, miracles are not uncommon there (I'm talking about miracles of healing). And in general, it's pretty beautiful there!!!
One of the oldest churches preserved on the territory of Belarus. In the temple there is a miraculous icon of the Mother of God "Vsetsarina", to which people turn for healing in case of oncological diseases. The temple is relatively close to the Zhirov Monastery, so it is better to combine trips to both Shrines.
It is sparsely populated, quiet, and gracious...
A gorgeous place, an architectural monument of the 15th century, a fortress church. You feel somehow peaceful there. Nearby is the Zhirovichi Monastery, a couple of dozen km away.
We've been wanting to visit this place for a long time. There were amazing impressions.... From the tour, from the service, from the temple itself and the place where it is located. Definitely worth a visit…
I recommend visiting and worshipping the holy icon, a very interesting church, be sure to ask for an excursion and do not forget to stop by the local font, restaurant, and at the same time the monastery on the way. Layhfak in the monastery in the shop, ask for a mini-tour, it is conducted by students - very informative!
We drove from Minsk to see the beauty with our own eyes! An incredible defense-type church, you can feel the power and energy, a strong place! The architecture just couldn't take your eyes off was in Murovanka-a defense-type church, it's much smaller than this one. I heartily advise you!
It is advisable for fans of the icon of the "All-Tsaritsa" to visit this place. A quiet, small and very interesting church with its history since 1407.
The legendary temple: the guide said that it began to be built back in the days when the Prussians settled in this place, who fled from the Teutons... And two branches of the river flowed around the area, forming almost an island. And there are many more interesting facts. And in general, the place is sacred, holy.
A place worth visiting anyway. It is impressive, surprising and simply breathtaking from the way it was built before. It's even better with a good guide
A unique monument of church architecture, subtly and intricately intertwining the power of an ancient fortress and the spirit of the Christian traditions of the Belarusian land. If you are in Slonim by car, you must visit!
It's just a MIRACLE, the living history of our Belarus. I've been here at least five times. By the way, the church is functioning, and I also really liked the rector (Father).
I recommend visiting this holy place. There is a legend that the Synkovichi Church was founded by Grand Duke Vitovt in gratitude for the fact that he escaped from the pursuit of Jagiello in the local forests.
An amazing building, I would never have thought that such power could be found in such a wilderness. At the same time, a defensive castle and a temple. Wild bees have set up a hive in one of the walls, be careful when examining.
It's a pity I arrived late, it was closed, as the locals said, there is an icon that cures cancer, there is a book in which all those who have recovered make a record. The main thing is faith.
Spiritual grace.... I recommend it . There are a lot of ancient icons. A 15-minute drive from the Zhirovitskaya monastery. Prayer services are held on the first Saturday and the third Friday of each month. And for every holiday.
I've heard about this church for a long time. I managed to go there today. I want to express my deep gratitude to Father Arseny for his kindness, responsiveness, ability to listen and help people. I bow low to you.
It is sincere and beautiful!
The specific features of the temple's architecture have no analogues in the world. In this sense, it is a masterpiece of Belarusian architecture.
The temple is a monument in which the artistic trends of the East (traditions
of Byzantine architecture) and the West (Gothic) have merged into a single synthetic ensemble.
A great place that allows you to plunge into history! I think this place is definitely a must-visit, because it is a defense-type church, which are not so widely represented on our territory (after all, they are similar only in Murovanka and Kamai). The impressions are only positive

The church is a fortress that deserves the attention of both believers and tourists. It looks powerful from the outside, has a rich and rather long history of existence.
The interior is restrained, I visited with a tour group, got to the service, so in order not to embarrass the parishioners, we did not stay there for a long time.
It is a very impressive building.
I recommend
There are not many defense-type temples on the territory of Belarus. This is the church of the Holy Archangel Michael. Centuries and countries changed, the temple was either Orthodox, then acted as a uniate parish, then after closure it was used as a warehouse of a local collective farm.After the restoration, life in the temple changed again. I want to return to such places.
A wonderful world opens up when you come to church. A very good priest, a beautiful voice. Well-versed, well-read..... I really liked it, I would like to visit it again. It is a pity that it is far away.
I was completely delighted, I experienced incredible sensations, tears streaming from the excess of emotions from the service, the place, the church. It will definitely become a frequent place to visit!
An atmospheric place. Beautiful, strong, sincere. You can book a guided tour. Buy souvenirs. Get some water.
We got to the prayer service. The minichore sings well. I recommend a visit.
The Church of Archangel Michael is valuable not only for its unique architecture, historical events associated with it, but also for the atmosphere of purity and spirituality, which really helps people, instills confidence in the future and the successful resolution of problems that believers face..
In my opinion, words are not needed here, a blessed place, by a wonderful coincidence we came to Belarus when we were traveling, we were advised when we stopped on the way to buy strawberries, we did not know at all about this wonderful place.
A wonderful place for the soul.
The energy is amazing.
There are ancient inscriptions inside the building.
You leave there as if you have cleansed your soul and spirit .
An amazing, blessed place! The temple is a fortress in the Gothic style. For more than 600 years of history, the temple has not been destroyed and has come down to us in its original form. The miraculous icon of the All-Tsaritsa is located in the temple.
The temple is impressive! He exudes a special power. A very powerful sermon by the rector, which touches the soul. The singing of the church choir and priests is very beautiful. The area is very beautiful.
A famous historical place that has been included in many tourist trips. It is an active temple. A monument of defense architecture. There is a parking lot for visiting by transport.
An interesting church, first of all, the mixing of architectural styles is of interest. Gothic and Byzantine styles are mixed. From an architectural point of view, it is very interesting. The temple is functioning.
A very beautiful and soul-catching place. There have been people all along. There is a parking lot. Friendly staff, told a lot, showed graffiti. On the road to the right, there are also some historical red brick buildings, but they are falling apart, but it is interesting to see) The road to the church is dirty and in holes, probably the chairman of the district executive committee of another religion)) There is a smell of manure from the cowshed nearby.
For the area where it is located, of course, it is an indescribable beauty and a very pleasant territory! In general, it is very beautiful and once in a lifetime you can look at it!
