    The Church of the Icon of the Mother of God "Joy to All Who Sorrow" is a wooden Russian Orthodox church. It was built between 1861 and 1865, after the place became a famous health resort for Russians. The main donor for the construction of the church was Mikhail Illarionovich Kutuzov. His granddaughter Iekaterina sponsored the iconostasis. The region was occupied by the Poles during World War I and became a center for Belarusian emigrants. The church was closed by the Soviet Union in 1944, but reopened in 1947 and renovated just ten years later. It was renovated again in the late 1980s, during the Soviet era. The church is painted blue on the outside. Various icons and religious images underline the magnificent interior of the church.
