Visit to All Saints Church

All Saints wooden church was built in 1810. It is situated in one of the central streets of modern Turov – Leninskaya street. There are stone crosses on the right side of the entrance and the altar. It is a symbol of faith and the object of cult worship for the Orthodox Christians.

There is a legend about these crosses in Turov. They sailed themselves up the stream along the Dnieper and the Pripyat from Kiev and stopped near the city. Then the water turned bloody red. There is also a monument to Constantine Ostrogsky, the famous west European personality and adherent of the Orthodox Church.
The years of the Second World War also left their traces on the lands of Turov. To the right of the church you can find a tomb of German soldiers. The tomb is in the form of a birch. In the postwar years crosses made ​​of birch were established on burial places of the dead invaders.
