The church in Derewna

It is known that since the 17th century Derewna was a stopping place for Jesuits for missionary work. A church was built here, which had an image of “Mother of God”. The list of Christian Catholic settlements from 1726 mentions Derewnia (Derevnia). It is now called Derewnia. Since 1744 years, Derewna has been a branch church of the Braszewicze parish. It is included in the deanery of Szereszewski, Lutsk parish.

Catholic Church in Antopol

The Catholic Chapel (Bel. kaplica) was built in Antopol in 1838. It was attached to the Gorodets parish church. In the description of the 1909 book. “Guide to Lithuania and Belarus” N. Rouba, mentions a chapel in Antopol, in Grodno province. Also a reminder about the cost of living in the countryside “Collection of monuments of history and culture. Brest region” Given that Cappela belonged to the Gorodecka paraphy, Kobrin-Rome deanery, it is worth looking at the surviving metric books for the area on the Marmon site from 1706 to 1866.

Church in Odryzyn

Odryzyn was once part of Drohiczyn district, so it is worth mentioning the local church. The oldest mention of the church is the metric Uniate books from 1684 to 1801. They are kept in the RGIA. It was a wooden church, consecrated in honor of the Dormition of the Blessed Virgin Mary, standing on the southern shore of the lake. There is no information about what happened to the church, but in 1783 a new Uniate church was built by landowners Czernecki-Czarny.
