    A peculiar combination of rubble stone and wood

      Next to the Holy Trinity Church, the Church of the Intercession of the Holy Mother of God was built in 1864. The Church of the Intercession in Benitsa was built from natural rubble stone. The bell tower is made of wood. The architectural style of the church is pseudo-Russian, which was typical for churches in Belarus at that time. After the war, the church suffered the same fate as the Trinity Church - the Soviet authorities closed the church. This event occurred in 1948. For many years, the church was used as a warehouse. Today, the Orthodox church in Benitsa is open to visitors and holds services. Before opening, the Church of the Intercession was repaired and the adjacent territory was improved.
