General information about Saint Demetrius of Thessaloniki Church (Dobrianka)

The wooden church of the holy great martyr Dimitriy of Thessaloniki was built in Dobrianka in 1790.

This is the only Old Believer church in Chernihiv region. For a long time, according to the decree of Emperor Nicholas I, the bell was forbidden in the temple. The Bolsheviks closed the church before the Second World War, but it became active again under the Germans.

The parishioners consider the icon of the Mother of God "Calmation of Disease" to be the main shrine.

Recently, a belfry was added to the Saint Demetrius of Thessaloniki Church.
