St. Andrews



In my picture all you can see is the bellfry but I'll give you a little background. There is the state emblem of the Polish Republic and the Lithunian emblem of the “Pogon” on the church. The first written evidence about the church goes back to 1460. It was reconstructed in the 1600s. In this church Hryshka Otrepiev nortoriously known in Russian history as the traitor Psuedo-Dmitri I, was married to Maria Mnishek. After the wedding he led the Polish Army to Moscow. Today it is a Greek-Catholic church.
