An unusual place. The beauty of nature, the high bank of the Western Dvina River, which is the natural border with Latvia. Family atmosphere and peace of mind.
There is a museum on the territory of the church, a real border post. You can hear the bells ringing, climb the bell tower and even ring the bells. Parts of the temple require reconstruction. With God's help, the parishioners, under the guidance of the rector, are carrying out work on the conservation of the building. These people create the conditions for the revival of the church. There is no better location to hold a sacred music festival here. The hospitable and mysterious Druja beckons to you.
I will definitely come back here…
An amazing picturesque place in northern Belarus, the border with Latvia. The temple stands right on the shore of the Western Dvina River, along which the border runs. The main destroyed temple by the Grace of God, thanks to the labors of the abbot of the proto. Igor Chechukovich is slowly being restored, festivals of Orthodox hymns are held in the walls of the destroyed church, the Blessed Virgin Mary is glorified. God grant that the time may come when the restored temple will shine with its domes, and constant worship will glorify the Lord, the Most Holy Theotokos and the Saints of God.
The kindest father serves in the church. A volunteer club has been established at the church. Volunteers are restoring the church, maintaining the beauty of Druia, and offering a diverse program for local residents and tourists. They conduct excursions around the town of Druya. And, of course, the bell ringing!

Another amazing place where a self-respecting traveler should get to. Unfortunately, at the time of the visit, the temple was closed, but from the outside it is surprisingly beautiful and it is good that the upper vaults are covered with a roof, which allows you to somehow preserve the remains of ancient architecture. The temple stands in a beautiful place on the high bank of the river, beyond which you can easily see the shores of the neighboring country.
The Annunciation Church is located in a wonderful place. The church was closed. There is a beautiful panoramic view from the shore. I recommend you to visit.
Кто доберётся до этого закутка Беларуси, тот молодец. Батюшка руководит молодёжным лагерем. В старых стенах сохранены артефакты. С берега отличный вид на евросоюз. У батюшки можно приобрести мёд. Мёд вкусный, проверено на себе.
Друя - вообще древнее место. Много уникальных исторических мест в ней. Эта церковь пока на стадии восстановления, но посмотреть есть что. Рядом прямо на берегу Западной Двины - чистейший родник, а на другом берегу - уже Латвия.
Настоятель - о. Игорь Чечукович - очень интересный человек.
