Orthodox church of the Pokrov in Bończa

Nice Orthodox Church on the route Krasnystaw Hrubieszów.

A very nice pity that it is open so rarely

A beautifully restored Orthodox church. I also recommend the Roman Catholic parish church on the opposite side of the road, which was a former Calvinist church.
