A pre-war guidebook to Polesie mentions that in 1718 the resident Antonina Zamoyska founded a Uniate Basilian monastery here.

+ +

The earliest document can be considered the metric Uniate books from 1719 to 1799, which are currently in RGIA.

In 1807 the monastery Holy Trinity Church burned down. Only the icon of the Virgin Mary with the Infant in her arms was saved. The male monastery of the Basilian order was abolished in 1834.

An icon rescued from the fire of the old Uniate church is mentioned in “Descriptions of Churches and Parishes. Grodno Orthodox Church Calendar.” It features monograms with a ruby of the Polish King Stanisław August. At that time the owner of the area was Princess Elizabeth Giedrojc.

There is also a list of Uniate priests who served in Antopol, including Fyodor Horbatsevich and Fyodor Pronevich.

+ +

The current Orthodox church was built in 1857 (or rebuilt for Orthodoxy) by the local landowner Count Kosmoja Ozharovski on the site of the old Uniate church and monastery.

On the territory of the church the memorial column of the Constitution of May 3, 1791 has been preserved. Unfortunately, the texts on the column have been erased.
