Derechinskaya Spaso-Preobrazhenskaya Church

An architectural monument of the Byzantine style in the village of Derechin, Zelvensky district, Grodno region. Built in 1863 of brick. This majestic, even huge by village standards, temple stands just at the crossroads of Slonim-Zelva and simply attracts people's eyes. It makes passers-by wonder and admire. The Church of the Transfiguration of the Savior was built with five wooden domes. The middle part of the temple, with two side doors, is a regular quadrangle with four columns, on which the middle dome with eight windows is approved. In the vestibule there is a baptismal room and a passage to the upper kliros and the bell tower.

This church is remarkable not so much for its dimensions and interesting architecture as for its amazing wall paintings.
