2 Roubles Orthodox church of St. Michael the Archangel. Synkavichy

The Orthodox Church of St. Michael the Archangel in Synkavichy is one of the oldest surviving Gothic religious structures in Belarus, built in the late 15th or early 16th century — an architectural rarity in a region where most structures of that period were destroyed across successive wars. Its defensive towers mark it as a fortified church, a design more common in Catholic Poland-Lithuania than in Orthodox ecclesiastical architecture, reflecting the complex confessional geography of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania at the time of its construction.
