The Church of all Saints wasn't initially on my Minsk to do list when preparing my trip. I'm also surprised it's so low on TA list. But, being in Minsk for 2,5 days (which is more than enough) I disovered it and decided to visit - best decision I made. The Church is in the northeastern suburbs of the Belarus capital, on the way to/from the airport and pretty close to the ultra modern National Library which was on my list, so naturally I decided to combine it with it. Fastest and cheapest is to take the metro blue line and exit at Uschod station. From here in one direction is the Library, in the opposite the Church (10-15 min walk). In one word, the Church is fantastic - both outside and inside. It's huge with a central spire Dome adorned with several smaller ones, all of them with golden onion domes on top. It shines in it's whiteness with many golden decorations. From the moment you approach it you can tell it's new, finished only 10y ago, but they didn't spare on it. The interior will blow you away, among the best I've seen - the altar, floor, walls, stained glass, crypt,.... It's a memorial Church dedicated to all Saints. Beside that, unknown soldiers from WWI and WWII are buried there, as well the ashes of Chernobyl visctims, etc... Beware they close at 5 PM - we didn't know that so were lucky to enter 20 min earlier. Entrance is via the big staircase, all the beautiful wood carved-copper doors around are locked. I'm surprised the authorities didn't find space more downtown for this masterpiece. Surely many more people would visit it. Do NOT miss this.…

It wasn't part of our itinerary but our guide took us there. It's beautiful inside. In the basement of this church, there are soils/ashes of special people who died for the country. Minsk is a big city. While key buildings and monuments can be done by long walks, but it's still highly recommended that you either get a driver guide (if you want to see everything in one day) or take public transportation.…

This church is a bit away from the city centre and you need to take the metro or a taxi to get there. But go. It is the most beautiful church in Minsk, both inside and outside. Combine aviser to the church with the National Library which is close.

An incredibly impressive church, situated approximately 8km from the October Square by metro and a short walk. This church was one of my favourites one my week long trip to Belarus and Ukraine. Impeccably decorated in great detail, one needs to walk around the interior to fully appreciate its beauty.…
