Churches of Belarus (part XL):  Church of the Ascension (1822), Dzjerkaushchyna 2013.  Касьцёлы Беларусі (частка XL): касьцёл Унебаўшэсьця (1822), Дзеркаўшчына 2013 год.

This church is a harmonious and well-preserved example of neo-classical Roman-Catholic church architecture in Belarus.  The leading Belarusian architectural patrimony and preservation web sites  — Radzima.org (www.radzima.org) and Globus Belarusi (Глобус Беларуси, in Russian, globus.tut.by), mistakenly identify the name of this church as the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
