PolandДратув (гмина Людвин)1889–1890Public buildings

The church was built in 1889–1890 with state funds for a parish of about a thousand people to an 1887 design by Viktor Sychugov and consecrated in 1890; the village was then part of the Kingdom of Poland within the Russian Empire. The parish was evacuated in 1915 and services resumed between the wars; the church was closed in 1947 and, according to Polish Wikipedia, reopened in 1959. The diocese is running a restoration project for the building with EU funding.

Церковь построена в 1889–1890 годах на казённые средства для прихода примерно в тысячу человек по проекту Виктора Сычугова 1887 года и освящена в 1890 году; село тогда входило в Царство Польское в составе Российской империи. В 1915 году приход был эвакуирован, в межвоенные годы службы возобновились; в 1947 году храм закрыли, а в 1959 году, по данным польской Википедии, он снова стал действующим. Епархия ведёт проект реставрации здания с участием европейских фондов.
