Defensive Orthodox church, Supraśl, Poland (part 2 of 3)

In September 1947, the Chief Directorate of Museums and Protection of Collections ordered the full reconstruction of the entire monastic complex.

After the war, an agricultural school operated in the monastery buildings, and from the 1980s, the buildings were gradually handed over to the Polish Autocephalous Orthodox Church, which carried out conservation and renovation work.

In 2021, the 37-year-long reconstruction of the main church of the monastery was completed. It is a structure that combines defensive and sacred functions, featuring elements of Byzantine and Gothic styles.
