Holy Intercession Church

The Holy Intercession Church is made in a retrospective Russian style, the modern building was built in 1900-1903, and at the same time the Orthodox church was lit in honor of the Intercession of the Virgin.

The first temple in Dokshitsy is mentioned in the chronicle at the beginning of the 16th century, when the masters of wooden architecture erected the first Orthodox church in the village. Only 350 years later it was decided to build a new stone church, and during its construction to reconstruct the old one for parishioners.

The wartime for the Church of the Intercession was not easy: the city was captured by the Germans, and the church building was used as barracks for prisoners of war. But even at this time services were held here on holidays.

Since 2012, the temple has opened its doors to believers not only on weekends, but also on weekdays. Often the services are conducted by the rector of the church himself, and local residents and visiting tourists can put candles, order a prayer service and pray.
