Church of Saint Nicholas in Krichev

The Church of Saint Nicholas contains five interconnected wooden structures arranged in a cross pattern with a pyramidal center section and bell tower.

Originally constructed in 1682, the church underwent reconstructions in 1738 and 1771 following fires, and converted from Greek Catholic to Orthodox in 1839.

The church exemplifies traditional Belarusian construction methods through its wooden architecture, reflecting regional building techniques passed through generations.

The religious building maintains regular Eastern Orthodox services and welcomes visitors to explore its wooden interior during designated opening hours.

The structure incorporates specific architectural elements of Belarusian folk design, including a central pyramidal composition and detailed wooden craftsmanship throughout the building.
