Church of Saints Boris and Gleb in Mahilioŭ, Eastern Orthodox church in Mogilev, Belarus.
The Church of Saints Boris and Gleb is an Orthodox place of worship in Mogilev constructed from red brick with arched openings and topped by multiple domes. The structure displays hallmarks of Russian Revival style through its decorative brickwork and balanced proportions.
The structure was built in 1869 during a period when Orthodox churches were being constructed across Belarus under Russian imperial influence. The design reflects architectural and religious traditions of that era of empire building.
The building serves as an active gathering place for the local Orthodox community, where people observe traditional religious rituals and celebrations throughout the year. The interior reflects practices that have shaped the spiritual life of believers for generations.
The church is located in central Mogilev and welcomes visitors during daytime hours with free entry. Those wishing to explore the interior fully should avoid times when services are taking place so as not to disturb the congregation.
The interior space is designed so that religious chanting naturally echoes and resonates throughout the building in a way that enhances the worship experience. This acoustic quality was deliberately built into the structure and remains one of its most noticeable features.
