Church of St. Alexander Nevsky

Holy Prince Alexander Nevsky has always been considered the patron saint of the military, he can rightly be called the most popular and beloved among all saints. From school we know that he became famous for his victories over the Swedes and knights of the Teutonic Order (battle on Lake Peipus). It was in his honor that the temple was built in Baranovichi. And during the Great Patriotic War, St. Alexander Nevsky was especially revered by Belarusians - they prayed to him with a request to protect his loved ones.

The Church of St. Alexander Nevsky in Baranovichi appeared on the site of the cemetery church. In the postwar period, the church was demolished, it was due to the redevelopment of the city.

Later, on this site, a new temple was built, which was named in memory of the destroyed church in honor of St. Alexander Nevsky.

The first rector of the parish and the main initiator of the construction was the dean of Baranovichi district, mitrophoric Archpriest Alexander Dzichkovsky, the design work was performed by the Honored Architect of the Republic of Belarus Leonid Vasilyevich Makarevich.
