The beautiful neo-Gothic Church of St. John the Baptist in the village of Opsa, Vitebsk region in Belarus.
The red brick Catholic church of St. John the Baptist was built in 1887.
In 1928 the church was damaged by a fire but it remainded opened thanks to the efforts of the parishioners until 1949. In 1949 - 1990 it was used as a warehouse and storage.
In 1990 it was thought to transform the church into an art gallery and concert hall. However, due to lack of funds the church of St. John the Baptist returned to parishioners and to its original appearance and beauty.
