Dubrovitsy Church
Today we caught a bus to the outskirts of town to visit the Dubrovitsy Church set on a hill on a bank where two rivers meet. It is very old built in the late 1600's of and its foundations are slowly being restored.

| 18 Century Manor House nearby |
 |
| Who's the headless statue? |

 |
| Restoration in progress. Crumbling foundations. |

| Let's go and find out what's on the hill? |
 |
| We think it must be the secret of wedded bliss. Tie the knot and lock it in. Couple must come here on their wedding day. |
 |
| Pasha & Lena did. |
 |
| Shall we do it too? |
 |
