Orthodox Church of the Dormition of the Mother of God in Wojnowo

Wooden Orthodox church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary built in 1921–23. The church was modelled on Russian churches from the Tver area, where the initiator of its construction, Father Alexander Avayev, came from. A characteristic element of the building is a large dome covered with an impressive, onion-shaped dome. The interior of the church, devoid of polychrome, is equipped with a modest, white-gold iconostasis with icons of various artistic value, from different eras. In 1995–96, the church was thoroughly renovated, and in 1996 it was reconsecrated. An Orthodox women's monastery operates at the church. It is one of three religious houses for Orthodox nuns in Poland. A small cemetery and monastery buildings also adjoin the church. mpk.warmia.mazury.pl/cerkiew-pw-zasniecia-nmp-w-wojnowie
