In addition to the Church of the Holy Trinity, Danyushevo has another interesting attraction that has remained since the First World War.

In the same year, a memorial stone was erected in front of the temple with an inscription in German, which approximately means: “The memory of the glorious offensive of 1915"

True, nothing has been preserved from the former estate, only a few trees from the park, as well as elements of the gate at the entrance.

In the 60s, the 20th century, the church in Danyushevo was closed at the initiative of the Soviet authorities. It was opened again only at the turn of the 80s, and is still operating today.

Not far from these places you can see the Catholic temple in the village of Zhodishki, as well as more attractions on the map of Belarus.
