During the Soviet era church in Disney closed, and the building was used for storage needs. It was returned to believers in 1989 and almost immediately local Orthodox residents began reconstruction.

If you get inside the temple, be sure to pay attention to the unique miraculous icon "Disna Hodegetria".

Disney will be interesting to see hospital ruinsand also to cross the river to ferry.
