3D walk History

ORTHODOX CHURCH

IN KURASZEWO

Built in 1868, the church can be found in a small village located between Bielsk Podlaski and Hajnówka. Its interesting shape attracts attention from far away. While the majority of churches have rectangle-plan naves, this one has an octagonal nave. The sanctuary and two side sacristies are traditionally quadrilateral. A two-storey bell tower rises above the porch: the first floor is quadrilateral and the second – octagonal. Its pyramid roof, just like the roof of the nave, are crowned with a metal onion dome. The roof is entirely made of metal sheets. The church is oriented and has a log structure. The design was prepared by Sylwester Wasiluk and Łukasz Prokopiuk. These masters also supervised the construction.

At the end of the 19th century, the church became the seat of an autonomous parish and during the interwar period it belonged to the Catholic Byzantine-Slavonic rite Church also called the neo-Uniate Church. This rite was a reaction and an attempt to attract the faithful to Catholicism after the Uniate Church was closed down by tsarist officials in the 19th century. Obviously, the hierarchs of the Orthodox Catholic Church, who wanted the Uniats on their side, did not like the idea. In Kuraszewo there were quite a few Orthodox faithful who did not feel like handing the church over to Rome. The dispute was finally settled by a court of law in 1932, which decided that the church would remain Orthodox. It happened so and it has been ever since.

Services are held for the faithful in the church. Tourists who want to have a look inside should wait until the end of the service and then ask for a possibility to enter the church.
