Joy of All Who Sorrow Church.

By LotaLota
From the photo album "Wooden Heritage in Lithuania".
Joy of all who Sorrow Church is an Eastern Orthodox church in Druskininkai, Lithuania. It is dedicated to the icon of the Joy of All Who Sorrow. The church was built in 1865 after Druskininkai become a highly popular spa town visited by many wealthy Russians. The vice-governor of Grodno, Yakov Rozhnov, announced a collection of funds in the whole country. Among the contributors, there was the granddaughter of general Mikhail Ilarionovich Kutuzov, Yekaterina, who offered the sum needed for the construction of the iconostasis. Rozhnov himself also donated ten thousand rubles. The church was built between 1861 and 1865. Up from 1890, the Orthodox parish in Druskininkai also ran a school for girls of different confessions.
