Church of St. Michael in Synkavičy

The brick church features four defensive towers, two round and two Gothic angular ones, with battlements and numerous arrow slits across its walls.

Built between the late 15th and early 16th centuries, the church served as both a religious sanctuary and a fortress during periods of conflict.

The church displays a fusion of Orthodox religious traditions with Gothic architectural elements, representing the architectural heritage of medieval Belarus.

Located 15 kilometers west of Slonim, the church maintains regular Orthodox services and stands as a protected cultural monument of Belarus.

The church walls contain encoded numbers made from burnt bricks, with some interpreting these markings as dating back to the year 1320.
