Church of St. Archangel Michael

A special place among the attractions of the Volkovysk region is the Church of St. Archangel Michael in Gniezno, which dates back to the beginning of the 16th century. This is a rare example of Gothic architecture in the Belarusian lands, which has survived to this day almost unchanged.

The appearance of the Gniezno church also contains features of Renaissance architecture, and the decorative details are similar to those that adorn the Mir Castle. This can hardly be called a coincidence: the founder of the temple was married to the niece of Yuri Ilyinich, under whom the construction of the Mir Castle began.
