urban settlement Lyntupy located on the very border with Lithuania. One of its main attractions is the chic baroque bosom in the central part of the village.
Church of St. Andrew the Apostle (in some sources St. Andrew Boboli), built at the beginning of the 20th century. The history of construction begins with the fire of the wooden predecessor church, which was located on the site of this church.
A large parish was left without a house of worship, so it was decided to build a new Catholic church in Lyntupy. So in 1908 they began work on St. Andrew’s Church.
And 6 years later, in 1914, the snow-white temple was completely finished. Architecturally, the church belongs to the neo-Baroque style - three aisles, two towers, with a well-groomed area and a rubble fence.
In front of the entrance there is a stone gate with swing gates.
Be sure to walk around the Church of St. Andrew the Apostle - large arched windows and a two-level apse attract attention here. To the right of the entrance there is a rather unusual figure of Jesus Christ carrying a cross.
The church in Lyntupy managed to go through the difficult 20th century without any major losses and was perfectly preserved. In Soviet times, the Bolsheviks tried to close the temple, but they probably failed.
The temple, like the Lyntupys themselves, was often captured by war photographers and many interesting postcards were published with its image.
It takes about 2 and a half hours to get from Minsk to Lyntupa, below is the point with the location of this attraction:
Also be sure to check out Bishevsky estate, it is located in the park. If you are planning to visit Lyntupy, Vitebsk region, then add a few more interesting places to your route, for example church in the village of Kamai и Svir temple.
