Saint George Orthodox church in Babruysk, Eastern Orthodox church in Babruysk, Belarus

Saint George Orthodox Church is a monumental white-stone three-nave basilica in the Moscow-Yaroslavl branch of the Russian style, built 1905–1907 to a design by Aleksandr Shtaubert. Over the wide narthex rises a two-tier hipped bell tower, an octagon on a quadrangle, topped by a small onion dome. Five domes crown the two-step volume above the altar part.

Built in 1905–1907 as a garrison church for the troops of Babruysk Fortress, the church was designed by architect Aleksandr Shtaubert and consecrated in 1907 by Bishop Mikhail of Minsk and Turov. It was closed in 1924; in 1928 its bell tower was demolished and its domes removed, after which the building housed a sewing workshop, a warehouse, a canteen and the Lenin Library. It was returned to believers in 1990, and services resumed in 1991.

Locals call it the White Church, a name it kept through the Soviet years when the building held a sewing workshop, a warehouse, a canteen and the Lenin library. Since 1991 services have resumed, and the parish now runs a Sunday school, a youth group, a sisterhood and a library. The carved iconostasis, installed in 1995, holds icons painted by masters of the Moscow icon-painting school.

The building is located in central Babruysk and is easily accessible for visitors interested in exploring the architecture or attending religious services. It is best to visit during daylight hours to fully observe the exterior and surrounding area.

The brick construction displays skilled craftsmanship from the early 1900s with elaborate decorations visible on the facade. These details reflect the high quality of local building techniques during that era.
