This is a wonderful place! A must-visit! An ancient temple made of ancient stones, unusual for the eye. It is very warm and cozy. In the temple itself there is a miraculous icon of the Mother of God Kolozhskaya. The territory is green, lavender and other flowers grow. There is a retro speaker at the entrance. There is a bell tower under the fragrant apple tree. The temple has a great view of the river, the old castle and the tower!

The oldest temple in Belarus, built in 1140. It looks extremely unusual and impressive. It was renovated in 2018, is now operational, weddings and baptisms are held. There are excellent acoustics inside due to the unique arrangement of the walls. There is a bell tower next to the temple, which emits a charming bell ringing every 15 minutes. There is also a column with consecrated (and very tasty) water.

The place where the history of Grodno began. It is located on the high bank of the Neman River. Near the old and new castles, the embankment, the historical center. The church is small, cozy, lovingly restored. It reminded me of St. Dmitrievsky Cathedral of Vladimir, we see just the size and some kind of homely comfort.

Very beautiful inside. From the outside, you can see that it is antique. It stands on the banks of the Neman River and, if you go around to the right of the entrance, you find yourself on a small platform with a beautiful view of the river. The church itself is located in a large beautiful park. But, which is very convenient, you can get almost to the church itself by car. And there is a small parking area. Away from the church, a staircase descends in a beautiful cascade to the river. And there is a belfry nearby.

A very interesting location for tourists. I recommend not to miss it when traveling to Grodno. The location is very picturesque, the architecture and history of the place are interesting. If you walk from the castles, then there is a steep staircase to the church, back you went around through the park and the city. It's better to go by car))

High-quality reconstruction of the church. Nicely. The preserved walls emphasize their antiquity. It is open until 20:30. And it is also important, there is a water column next to it, to get drunk in the heat and take it with you. The view of the river and the surrounding area (the castle) is amazing.

The ancient church in the park is located opposite the Old Castle, across the river. You can walk from there, but the uphill climb is decent. There are often excursions inside, historical facts and features of the building are told (special jars for acoustics are embedded in the walls). The view from the observation deck nearby is very beautiful.

A place with incredible energy! I was walking towards her from the river, I was very impressed by the ascent along the rocky path, it was so great that she was left, it was as if I had fallen into the past. I went at 19h. just to look outside, because it was written on the website that it works until 18:00, and what was my joy when it turned out that it was open there! (In fact, the opening time is until 20:30) the indescribable atmosphere inside, dark ancient icons, a place of power for believers is unequivocal!

It's impressive. This is the westernmost of the preserved temples of ancient Russia. The exact date of construction has not been established, presumably it was built in the 1180s. There are older churches, but they are to the east. The masonry is interesting, it seems to me that it is made of plinth, i.e. flat brick. After the landslide, half of the church and the roof collapsed, restored in wood, unusually. I've heard a lot about voice boxes (vessels in the walls to improve acoustics), but I've seen so many of them clearly for the first time. It is mandatory to visit Grodno, this is our story.

A very interesting building from a historical point of view. Cobblestones in the walls and inlaid in the shape of crosses, jugs in the inner walls look impressive. If you want to visit without a guide, I advise you to prepare in advance: many details are not obvious. The "Orthodox store" inside spoils the impression a little. But where is the church without it?
The area around is well maintained and cleaned. Everything looks very nice.

Boris and Gleb Church - Grodno, Belarus.
The second name of the temple is Kolozhskaya Church.
Presumably the temple was built in 1140-1170.
12th century!!!
This is one of the oldest preserved churches of Ancient Russia.
The initiators of the construction are called Prince Vsevolodko of Grodno or his two sons: Boris and Gleb.
The facade of the Kolozha Church is unique, the walls are not plastered,
but decorated with decorative inserts of multicolored boulders and majolica tiles in the shape of crosses.
Inside the temple, there are a large number of voicing devices embedded in the walls of the temple - this is for special acoustics.
There is an observation deck with a beautiful view of the Old Castle and the river.
The temple is located in a park.
There is a small parking lot.
The toilet is a plastic cubicle .

Presumably, the church was built in the XII century, on the high bank of the Neman. As a result of landslides, it repeatedly collapsed, so it was only half preserved. The church has a unique facade decoration — the unpainted walls are decorated with inserts of polished colored boulders and glazed ceramic tiles. The walls are double, numerous voice jugs are embedded in the inner layer between the bricks, giving the room special acoustic properties. It is definitely worth seeing this unusual church, especially since it is located in a very beautiful place.

You can't tell right away that this is a church. Many relics have been preserved inside the church. For example, the rest of the old floor is under protective glass. There are a lot of old icons. It's beautiful inside. The old stone masonry with patterns remains outside. It's good that they saved it and did not transfer it to a new one. Except for one side, but it must have completely collapsed there.

Прекрасное место. Душевное место эта церковь. Спасибо за адекватное отношение, люди приходят в разной одежде, кто-то в шортах, да я знаю есть дресс-код и понимание как должны приходить в церковь, но иногда не получается соблюсти, если ты турист и не предусмотрел посещение и замечательно, что любой может придти и побыть в этой прекрасной церкви и никто никого не выгоняет. Про эту церковь действительно хочется сказать, что эта та самая церковь в которой пригодишь к Богу. Та самая атмосфера. Побольше бы таких душевных и духовных мест. Вы сумели сохранить ту важную и нужную атмосферу, когда хочется приходить к вам. Ничто не отвлекает.

Приезжаю раз в несколько лет и очень рада видеть, как улучшается благоустройство вокруг и как гармонично провели реконструкцию. Уникальный маленький уютный храм. При посещении имейте ввиду, что общепита рядом нет. Туалета тоже не видела, но возможно он есть... Это важно, так как храм находится в парке, на удалении от основных исторических объектов. Есть достаточное количество скамеек для отдыха, колонка с водой. И красивый вид с холма.
