Belin was first mentioned as part of the estate of the Pinsk princess Maria Hasztold at the end of the 15th century. In 1522 there is a mention of Prince Fedor Ivanovich Yaroslavich of Pinsk to the Cathedral of St. Dmitry in Pinsk (tribute and payments from the "Bolince"). In 1555 it was mentioned in the letter of Queen Bona Sforza to Matej Vojtechovich as a village in the Pinsk starostvo. In 1565 it belonged to Pinsk district, Brest voivodeship.

The church in Belin was built in 1785 by the Orzeszko family. This is confirmed in the "Description of churches and parishes. Grodno Orthodox Church Calendar. Volume 1". However, the information that in 1880 the church fell into disrepair is not correct.
