The Church of St. Nicholas is a charming 19th-century Orthodox church in Narewka. Built between 1865 and 1867, it features an eclectic design with a distinctive dome and three-story front tower. Although it was originally planned to be dedicated to St. Alexander Nevsky, St. Nicholas, who is particularly revered among the local population, was ultimately chosen as its patron.

Babia Góra is a small village in the Podlaskie Province, surrounded by forests and lakes, ideal for a bike ride away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist world. There are quiet asphalt and gravel roads in the area, and the slightly hilly terrain provides interesting views, especially in summer. It is a good place to use as a base for exploring the Suwałki Region, especially if you are planning a route towards nearby lakes such as Wiżajny or Hańcza. There is no large tourist infrastructure in the village itself, so it is worth having a supply of food and drink with you.

The building was probably built in the 1780s by Tomasz Węgierski as a Uniate church. After 1789, it was founded by Jan Walenty Węgierski and then Ludwik Bieliński. After 1839, it was Orthodox. The church originally belonged to the parish in Lewków, and from 1869 to Narewka. The parish in Siemianówka was established in 1957. In 1967, a vestibule and a bell tower were added to the church. In 1972, the interior was renovated: an iconostasis was installed and polychromes were placed on the interior walls. zabytek.pl/pl/obiekty/siemianowka-unicka-ob-prawoslawna-cerkiew-parafialna-pw-sw-je

In the 1950s and 1960s, significant water deficits were noted in the upper Narew river basin. In connection with this, in the regional perspective plan for water management of the former Białystok voivodeship from 1964 (currently part of the Podlaskie voivodeship), studies were undertaken on the location and determination of the capacity of a water reservoir necessary to cover these deficits. During this work, several location variants were considered. Ultimately, the location of the reservoir in the area of the village of Siemianówka was chosen. The first works began in May 1977. The original plans assumed that Zalew Siemianówka (this is the name given to this reservoir, although others are also used: Jezioro Siemianówka, Jezioro Siemianowskie. 289 farms from eight villages were bought and expropriated for the construction of the reservoir, of which: Rudnia, Garbary, Bołtryki, Łuka and Budy were completely liquidated. Two housing estates were built for the needs of the displaced: in Michałów (30 apartments) and Bondary (135 apartments). The village of Nowa Łuka was also established. The damming of water began in 1988 when the old bed of the Narew River was blocked with a frontal dam. In February 1989, 1,300 ha of land was flooded. This level was maintained throughout the summer, and for the winter the water level was lowered by 1 meter. In April 1990, water storage was resumed and the elevation of 143.00 was reached, which allowed for the flooding of 1,700 ha. In 1991, finishing works were carried out, which did not allow for further water accumulation. In 1992, the water was increased by 1 meter, which allowed for the flooding of 2,450 ha, and in the first days of May 1993, the elevation of 144.56 was reached. The area of the reservoir is 3,250 ha (Lake Wigry is smaller by over 1,000 ha). The maximum area of the reservoir reaches 32.5 km2, while the minimum - 11.7 km2. The average depth when completely filled is 2.5 m, the maximum 7.0 m. With a minimum filling, it is 1.5 m and 4.1 m, respectively. The length of the reservoir reaches a maximum of 13.5 km with a width of 1.4 km. https://www.siemianowka.pl/zalew-siemianowka.html

Church of St. Prophet Elijah in Nowa Luka - at the end of 2005, after 6 years of construction, the Orthodox Church of St. Elijah was consecrated in Nowa Luka (by the head of the Polish Church, Metropolitan Sawa). The church was built thanks to the involvement of many residents of Luka and surrounding villages, who carried out a large part of the construction work. However, most of the costs were covered by one of the residents of the former Luka, currently living in Białystok. Local residents call this church a monument to the displaced (to build the Siemianówka reservoir, about 300 farms were displaced from 8 surrounding villages, 5 of which were completely flooded and ceased to exist). https://ugnarewka.wrotapodlasia.pl/pl/o_gminie/soectwa_i_miejscowoci/nowa-luka.html

St. Nicholas Church (built after 1864). The origins of the current Orthodox parish in Narewka (formerly known as Narewka Mała) date back to 1794, when the first wooden chapel of St. John the Baptist was built in the cemetery. This chapel then belonged to the parish in Lewków Stary. Unfortunately, on December 24, 1898, the chapel burned down and was never rebuilt. In 1864, the decision was made to build a brick church. The church was planned to be located away from the center, on the site of the garden and park section of the Grodzisko manor. In June 1865, the cornerstone was laid. The name of the chief builder of Novików remains to this day. The church was built not only with contributions from parishioners. The Russian government allocated a whopping 10,000 rubles for the investment. Bricks for the construction were supplied by the Frydman brickyard (located near Narewka Mała) and factories in Białowieża. The church was consecrated in 1967, and three years later, it was consecrated (some sources indicate it was consecrated as early as 1867). St. Alexander Nevsky became the church's patron saint and remained so until 1869, when, following the creation of an independent parish in Narewka, the church was renamed the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. bialowieza.travel/see-necessarily/sacred-objects/attraction/174
