Orthodox cemetery church of St. The Holy Trinity, i.e. Troicka, is entered in the register of monuments of the Podlaskie Voivodeship. It was funded by Queen Bona between 1533 and 1556 for the inhabitants of Nowe Miasto, located at the Grand Lithuanian Road. Since 1596, when the presbyter of the church opted for the union, it had a Catholic function. The visitation from 1727 described it as wooden, covered with shingles and topped with a dome, old and dilapidated, deprived of the constant care of a parish priest. Because no renovation was carried out, the church collapsed in 1774. The salvaged equipment, mainly paraments, was deposited in the church of St. st. Michael. For a long time the temple was not rebuilt. This happened only at the beginning of the 19th century. In 1834, the parish of the Holy Trinity was liquidated, the faithful were attached to the Orthodox church of St. st. Michael, and the temple itself - unused - was decaying. Around the middle of the 19th century, it was moved to the municipal cemetery, situated in the Orthodox part.
