У church in Gorodishche long and complicated history. It is known that back in 1640 the first temple was built here, on the site of which today there is Church of the Virgin Mary. Most sources agree that the stone version of the church appeared at the end of the 18th century.
Urban settlement Gorodishche located in the Baranovichi region. Nearby is the regional road P5, connecting Novogrudok and Baranovichi. Moving along it, you can not only get to the Settlement, but also see a few more interesting sights along the way. Church и church in Stolovichi, Koldychevo, wooden temple Valevka, lake Svityaz.
It is known that in 1866 the church in Gorodishche was re-consecrated into an Orthodox church. In the same period, an onion tower was added to the temple, and the facade was partially changed. However, the general architectural style of the Baroque remained recognizable.
I did not like that the urban development spoils the appearance of the Church of the Virgin Mary. The main entrance rests against the blank wall of the warehouse, and on the reverse side is an abandoned two-story house.
The asymmetric belfry tower in three tiers looks unusual.
To the right of the church in Gorodishche, a rubble stone fence has been preserved, as well as a single-arch gate of the 19th century.
