The first temple-monument to Belarusian soldiers who were sent to Afghanistan by Soviet government

Biaroza Michael the Archangel Church – five-domed church, which reaches 38 meters in height. The temple is located on Lienina Street, 129 a.

Initiative of the construction of the temple in memory of soldiers killed in Afghanistan belongs to the Afghan veterans priest Hieorhij Šaŭcoŭ, honored architect of Belarus Leanid Makarevič and retired colonel Uladzimir Siarhiejeŭ. A place for construction of the temple was chosen in an old park of Biaroza, near the so-called Red barracks, where during the Russian Empire was a military church of 151st Infantry Regiment. The project was developed  by Leanid Makarevič. The construction of the church began in February 2004, when there was the fifteenth withdrawal of Soviet troops from Afghanistan. Opening and consecration of the temple took place on October 4, 2009. The consecration of the temple-monument completed the building of complex in Biaroza, which includes the stele of memory of Afghan soldiers, Fountain "Čaša slioz" and samples of military equipment, which was used in Afghanistan.
