Next to the urban settlement of Bolshaya Berestovitsa is the agro-town of Malaya Berestovitsa. Several architectural monuments of the 19th century have been preserved here, including the Church of St. Anthony of Padua.

The church was built in difficult times, when Malaya Berestovitsa belonged to the Volkovysk. The initiator and funder of the construction of the church was the local landowner Anthony Volkovytsky. The construction of the stone temple began in 1851, on the site of the wooden predecessor.

When the work on the temple was nearing completion, there was an uprising in 1863. As you know, after this event, most of the churches in Belarus were closed or transferred to the Orthodox Church. The same fate befell the church of St. Anthony of Padua and in 1866 the church was closed after the suppression of the uprising under the leadership of K. Kalinovsky.

All icons and utensils were transferred to the Krynkovsky Church. In the 1920s, it was returned to Catholics. In 1946, the church building completely burned down, only the walls remained. It was restored and returned to believers in the 1990s. The original appearance of the temple is known from the drawing of Napoleon Horde.
