40 kilometers from Minsk, along the M6 highway, located village Yarshevichi. Here, a classic ant-church made of rubble stone, built in the middle of the 19th century, has been preserved. Ascension Church stands on the outskirts of the settlement, the territory is well-groomed and clean, but the impression is that the temple is not used and is empty.
Church in Yarshevichi has been operating since 1863. Approximately in the 50s, of the 20th century, they wanted to demolish the temple, but the locals defended the church.
Once upon a time there was also a wooden church in these parts. True, due to the poor condition, they decided to demolish it, below is a photo:
