Beautiful old Orthodox church next to the entrance gate to the Palace Park.

The Białowieża-Towarowa station building, built to serve the Tsar's residence, is one of the few very well-preserved buildings of this type in the Podlaskie province. The fact that it was built on the grounds of the private residence of the Russian Tsars determined that it was given an exceptionally representative character. After an exemplary renovation, the station was awarded the title of the General Conservator of Monuments in the 2004 edition of the competition called Zabytek Zaddani. The building has artistic values referring to the richly decorated Russian railway construction of the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The carpentry decorations of the gables and window frames refer to the residential construction of Russia and the so-called Swiss villas (Swiss style) popular in European health resorts at that time.

Immediately after its construction, in the 19th century, the church was widely considered (by the press of the time) to be the most beautiful in the entire Grodno Governorate. Its historical values are associated with the patrons and founders of the church - the royal family. The building was funded and built under the personal supervision of Tsar Alexander III, it was visited by the most distinguished state dignitaries and clergy, and was and is the place of important religious and secular ceremonies.

A very interesting, beautiful, wooden covered bridge over the Narewka River, leading to the famous Palace Park, with beautiful views of the river.

St. Nicholas Church in Białowieża. According to local accounts, a small church existed in Białowieża as early as the 17th century, but it was burned down along with the village during the plague of 1710. These accounts locate the church on the Brov Road. The only surviving relic of it is said to be a bell from 1661, located in the cemetery chapel. Unfortunately, there is no confirmation of this information in known written sources. Initially, the Białowieża residents were assigned to the parish church in Shereshevo, which received funds and privileges from Ivan Abramovich as early as 1517. After the construction of the church in Suchopol in 1680 and the establishment of the Suchopol parish, they transferred to it. In 1704, the Białowieża manor received the right to collate and present the Suchopol priests from King Augustus II. Białowieża's affiliation with the Suchopol parish is confirmed by visitations from 1748, 1757, and 1769. In 1757, it had 733 faithful, including 83 from Białowieża. In 1769, the parish had 251 families – 23 from Białowieża (56 people were recorded as having gone to confession). Around 1782, the church in Suchopol burned down. Because the chapel built in its place could not accommodate all the parishioners, construction of a new church began. Construction work lasted seven years. In 1799, Białowieża, with 30 families, was still part of the Suchopol parish, although it had already had its own church for several years. The Białowieżaites may have been assigned to the Suchopol parish as late as 1800, but the 1801 visit does not mention them. The Orthodox church in Białowieża was built in 1793. The church's foundation deed was issued on May 2, 1797, by the Chief Treasurer, Major Jan Szczepanowski. bialowieza.travel/see-it-necessarily/sacred-objects/attraction/171
