History
Despite the fact that now Zaporozhye is a small village, it has a long history. It was first mentioned in documents of the Livonian War era. In 1563, Sigismund August wrote to Ivan the Terrible : “Complaints have come to us that Moscow people are crossing Dvina, many villages, boyars and noblemen have been taken to Glubokoe, Berezveche, Lastovichi, Zalesye, Zaporozhye, and are entering other estates and villages, people are sworn in, and some are taken into captivity with property, destroyed by the war of our people ” [2] .
As a result of the second division of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (1793), Zaporozhye became part of the Russian Empire, first in the Disney district of Minsk , and since 1842 - of the Vilna province .
In the wooden Catholic church that existed here in 1883, Vaclav Lastovsky was baptized [2] . This temple burned down in 1902, after which efforts were made to rebuild it in stone. By private donations, by 1910 a new neo-Gothic church was built according to the project of the famous Vilnius architect Anthony Filipovich-Dubovik [2] .
According to the Riga Peace Treaty (1921), Zaporozhye became part of the interwar Polish Republic , where it belonged to the Disney district of the Vilnius Voivodeship . In 1930, 107 residents lived here [2] . Since 1939, as part of the BSSR .
Attractions
- Catholic church of st. Virgin Mary Built in 1910 in a neo-Gothic style. De facto, the temple is located on the northern outskirts of the village of Mnuto 2 , but many sources refer to neighboring Zadorozhya [3] [4] . The parishioners of the temple are Catholics from many surrounding villages, not only from Zaporozhye and Mnuto 2.
