Orthodox church of the Dormition in Białystok-Starosielce, Eastern Orthodox church in Starosielce district, Białystok, Poland.

The brick Orthodox Church of the Dormition features five domes and a single nave, incorporating architectural elements that symbolize the Descent of the Holy Spirit.

Construction of the church began in the early 1980s when Bishop Sawa initiated the project to accommodate Orthodox believers moving from rural areas to Białystok.

The interior walls display frescos created by iconographers from Donetsk, Ukraine, combining modern design approaches with traditional Orthodox artistic principles.

The church conducts regular services in Orthodox Slavonic language and holds special ceremonies for baptisms, weddings, and other religious observances throughout the year.

Despite facing initial opposition and construction setbacks, including an arson attempt, the church persevered to become a completed structure in 1999.
