PolandСемятыче1865–1866Public buildings

A stone parish church built in 1865–1866 in Siemiatycze, then within the Russian Empire, to replace a dilapidated 17th-century wooden church. According to Polish Wikipedia it was erected to a pattern-book design by Konstantin Thon and largely with state funds. The church functioned until 1915, was reopened between the wars and has been in continuous use since; the iconostasis of 1908 survives.

Каменная приходская церковь построена в 1865–1866 годах в Семятыче, находившемся тогда в составе Российской империи, взамен обветшавшего деревянного храма XVII века. По данным польской Википедии, она возведена по образцовому проекту Константина Тона и в значительной части на государственные средства. Храм действовал до 1915 года, вновь открыт в межвоенные годы и с тех пор действует непрерывно; сохранился иконостас 1908 года.
