Church in Detkowicze

The parish of Detkovichi was founded and the church was built of wood by the landowner Pavel Bukhovetsky, a clerk of the Brest voivodeship, in 1740. The church, built at the time of the Unia, was adapted to the Uniate worship. It is known that the church was repaired in the 20s of the XIX century. But it is worth mentioning that Detkovichi is mentioned in the “List of Christian Catholic settlements in 1726”

Church in Drohiczyn

There is no exact date of construction of the church in Drohiczyn. Therefore, we will start from the oldest documents found on it. Perhaps the earliest document mentioning the church in Drohiczyn is the mention in “In the list of Christian Catholic settlements in 1726 is mentioned Dorochyczyn Oppidum”. Further, there are Uniate metric books in RGIA from 1760 to 1798. Also worth noting are the Uniate metrics for 1823 at Marmon.

Church in Gnewczyce

The earliest mention of the church in Gniewczyce can be considered the book “Mironowicz A.: The Turaŭ-Pinsk bishopric in the 11th-16th centuries. Trans Humana, 2011.” Where in the Turow-Pińsk Biskupstvo the paraphyses in the XI-XVI century are described, the Gniewicz paraphy is also mentioned. The church after the signing of the Unia was converted to Greek Catholicism, which is confirmed by the preserved metric Uniate books in RGIA for 1800-1801.
