Church of Nativity of Virgin Mary in Muravanka

The red brick church features four angular pillars dividing the interior into three naves covered by star-shaped vaults with rhombic patterns.

Construction of this religious edifice began in 1524, and during the Great Northern War in 1706, Swedish forces under King Charles XII damaged it.

The structure represents an exceptional example of Belarusian Gothic architecture, combining religious purpose with defensive capabilities in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.

Located at coordinates 53.6975, 24.999722, the church stands as a national monument of Belarus, welcoming visitors interested in religious architecture.

The decorative facade includes intricate niches adorning walls, towers, and apse, with a distinctive brick belt laid at angles around the structure.
