The Church of St. John the Baptist. The first stone church in the town of Golshany appeared at the beginning of the XVI century. The temple received its modern appearance after the rebuilding of 1618 and 1770s. After the Second World War, the church was closed by the Soviet authorities, and a warehouse was made in the building. In the early 1990s, the church was returned to Catholics. After that, the building was restored. The most interesting among the interiors is the painting of the altar part in the grisaille style, which imitates the main altar. Previously, in the right side chapel there was a marble tombstone of the sponsor of the church of Pavel Stefan Sapieha and his three wives. Now it can be seen in the museum of ancient Belarusian culture.

I highly recommend visiting. I liked this casual inspection more than the Golshansky castle. I was impressed by the architecture and especially the fresco. It is very difficult for the brain to believe that this mural is painted on a flat wall. A masterpiece.

An incredibly beautiful and interesting place that is definitely worth a visit in Golshany. The priest is a very nice man who let us into the church and even told us about his life and history. Also, the church and the surrounding area are very clean and well-groomed, it is clear that this is being monitored. Many thanks to the priest and the guide Igor for a very interesting tour of the Golshany!
