Church of the Assumption of the Archangel Michael in Bielsk Podlaski
Church of the Assumption of the Archangel Michael in Bielsk Podlaski, Orthodox parish church in Bielsk Podlaski, Poland.
The Church of the Assumption of the Archangel Michael is a wooden building with an octagonal nave and a three-story bell tower. Multiple pentagonal chancels connect through an ambulatory passage that runs around the interior structure.
The building was constructed in 1789 and first served as a Greek Catholic church. In 1839, it returned to Orthodox Christianity when religious circumstances in the region shifted.
The main iconostasis installed in 1875 shows the religious art traditions that mattered deeply to the Orthodox community in this region. Walking inside, you can see how these sacred images reflected what people believed and valued.
You can find the church at Adama Mickiewicza 36B, and it is open throughout the year with regular services held there. The fenced cemetery grounds help keep the site quiet and respectful.
This church is one of the few remaining Uniate churches built on an octagonal plan in the Bielsk Podlaski and Orla region. Its unusual geometric design makes it a rare example of this religious architectural tradition in northeastern Poland.
