Orthodox church of the Annunciation in Supraśl

The Orthodox Church of the Annunciation features restored frescoes within its walls and stands as part of the Supraśl Orthodox Monastery complex.

The church was constructed between 1503 and 1511, receiving consecration in 1516 under the patronage of Aleksander Chodkiewicz and Joseph Soltan.

The monastery maintained a printing house that produced over 350 publications in Ruthenian, Polish, and Latin languages during its operation.

The church complex includes a hotel and two museums, with one dedicated to icon collections and another focusing on paper-making traditions.

German forces destroyed the original church structure in 1944, leading to extensive reconstruction efforts that concluded with fresco restoration in 2021.
