30 января 2018

In spite of the t restoration of one of the most recognizable sights of Belarus, the Church of Saints Simeon and Elena, the worship services are not canceled, believers continue to visit the shrine. External work is only the first stage of restoration, which will end in August. Outside, the architectural monument was repeatedly painted.

If a century ago, bricks were brought from Poland for the Red Church, now they are made in Belarus. We do not save on the restoration of the sacral building. The oak windows and doors are already waiting for the installation. Also, the church will shine with copper pipes and roof.

After the restoration, the church will not be the same as it was built by the patron of art Vainilovich in 1910. The fact is that over the years of atheism the church was repeatedly redesigned and rebuilt.

At the end of the restoration, the community will be given a set of rules for the exploitation of the cult building, so that the monument would serve both believers and tourists.
