Church of the Pokrov in Puchły

The wooden Orthodox church features a monumental structure with segmented mass and intricate facade details characteristic of regional religious architecture in Podlaskie Voivodeship.

Following multiple destructions by fire and natural disasters, the current building was constructed between 1913 and 1918, though World War II caused significant damage.

The church holds an 18th-century icon of the Virgin Mary adorned with votive offerings, representing centuries of Orthodox religious traditions in the region.

Located at coordinates 52.9132 latitude and 23.4011 longitude, the church belongs to the Warsaw-Bielsk diocese and maintains regular religious services.

Stone crosses from the late 19th century surround the church, while a spreading linden tree with its offshoots forms a group of 15 natural monuments.
