Church of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul in ag. Trabs
The first wooden church in Traby appeared around 1680 as a Uniate church. After the accession of the Uniate Church to the Orthodox Church, the Traby Church was transferred into the hands of Orthodox Christians. The current church was built in 1784 from wood, and was repaired and rebuilt several times. This is the monument of folk architecture.
A pentahedral apse with low side vestries is attached to the church. The gable roof turns into a hip roof over the apse; on the main façade and above the apse are finished with faceted drums with circular heads. The pediment of the main facade has decorative turrets with faceted heads in the corners.
In the common space of the prayer hall, the porch is separated by a partition, on which the choirs are located. The interior of the church was decorated at the beginning of the 20th century. The carved iconostasis was executed in 1901 from varnished oak in two tiers, dissected by columns with carved ornamental decor. It is interesting that the parishioners took turns carrying the iconostasis performed in Vilna to Traby.
At the beginning of the twentieth century in front of the church there is a two-tiered four-sided log-bell tower, completed with a low hipped octagon with a dome.
During the hostilities of the Second World War, the temple was seriously damaged, was restored, but did not stop its activities.
Since 2016, the architectural monument has been assigned the status of historical and cultural value.
