Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Pružany

The Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary displays neoclassical architecture with balanced proportions and symmetrical design elements throughout its structure.

The current stone church, completed in 1883, replaced an earlier structure from 1522 that was destroyed by fire during the Russian Empire period.

The building represents the persistence of Catholic faith in Belarus, having returned to religious use in 1991 after serving as a House of Culture during Soviet times.

The church holds regular Catholic services and maintains its position as an official cultural heritage site of Belarus, welcoming both worshippers and visitors.

Local nobleman Walenty Szwykowski funded the construction under the condition that the building height would not exceed other structures in Pružany.
