Chapel in the village of Ivashkivtsi built on the edge 19-20 centuries. Some sources mention the date of construction - 1908 year. It is known that at that time there was no Church of Our Lady of the Rozhentsova in Soly, and the tomb served as a parish church.

In 1917, a wooden part was added to the chapel. Thus, the church was organized, which operated until about 1935 years.

Chapel tomb in Smorgon district

The tomb resembles a small castle with its style of architecture and looks very colorful.

There is no verified information to whom this tomb belonged. The only surname that appears in most sources is Kachany (I will stick to this version). However, this is logically unlikely. Since 1876, the estate and estate in Soly belonged to a retired major general - Ivanov Avksenty Stepanovich. As you can see, the story is quite confusing.

Today, the chapel is open only for Catholic grandfathers, the rest of the time the doors are locked. The building was built in neogothic architectural style and well preserved to this day.
