Bohajaŭlienski Monastery in Polack

Bohajaŭlienski Monastery in Polack, Orthodox monastery in Polotsk, Belarus.

The Bohajaŭlienski Monastery stands near the Dvina River, featuring a main cathedral with white walls and multiple golden domes reaching toward the sky.

Founded in 992 as an Eastern Orthodox eparchy, the monastery changed its affiliation in 1596 through the Union of Brest to become part of the Ruthenian Uniate Church.

The monastery holds regular religious services and maintains a collection of religious artifacts that document the evolution of Orthodox practices in Belarus.

Visitors can access the monastery grounds daily from sunrise to sunset, with guided tours available in Belarusian and Russian languages upon advance reservation.

The monastery's architecture combines elements from different periods, including original medieval foundations, 17th-century renovations, and modern restoration work.
