Church of Saint George in Varniany, Catholic church in Varniany, Belarus

The Church of Saint George in Varniany is a brick religious building with Baroque architectural features located in the rural Varnianski Sieĺsaviet region. The structure displays characteristic ornamental details and proportions typical of this architectural style from its period of construction.

The building was constructed in 1769 and served the Catholic community until its closure in 1948. The church stood for nearly 2 centuries as a religious center in this rural area of Belarus.

The church is named after Saint George, the patron of its founder Jerzy Abramowicz, who died in 1767 before the building was finished. In the 19th century the interior held seven altars, including one to Saint George; three Baroque altars remain today. The parish also keeps the memory of Father Jan Sielewicz, named Righteous Among the Nations in 2000 for sheltering Jews during the German occupation.

The church stands on the central square of Varniany, with the former pharmacy house and plebania (1770) forming a courtyard in front of it. The palace of the Abramowicz family, which once faced the church across the square, burned down just before World War I; only the park and a tower pavilion remain. The building was restored and handed back to the faithful in 1990.

The church has been active again since 11 April 1990, when Bishop Tadeusz Kondrusiewicz re-consecrated it after Soviet-era use as a grain store or club. Its parish priest Jan Sielewicz, serving from 1930, hid Jews during the German occupation and was named Righteous Among the Nations in 2000.
