Antopal - is a large village of Drahichyn district, Brest region of Belarus. The main attraction of the village of Antopal is the wooden Orthodox church of the Resurrection of Christ, which was built here in 1854. The architectural style of the temple is classicism. The most expressive architectural element of the temple is a portico with four columns, with a turret rising above the gable. Next to the church in the village of Antopal there is also a small wooden bunk bell tower, built in 1866. On the other side of the church in the village of Antopal is a memorial column of the 19th century.

According to one version, this column was erected in honor of the constitution of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth on May 3, 1791. In any case, at the current moment this column is not displayed in any way after which it is installed. The church in the village of Antopal today is maintained in excellent condition and is an active Orthodox temple. The church of the Resurrection of Christ in the village of Antopal is also an important architectural monument of wooden architecture of the 19th century, a historical and cultural value, an interesting sight of Belarus and may be of interest to some tourists and travelers in Belarus.

In addition, several remarkable historical buildings of the 19th century, including the shopping arcades (and this is a rather rare and valuable type of architectural monuments in Belarus) have been preserved in the village of Antopal. Some of these old buildings in the village of Antopal were seriously rebuilt in the second half of the 20th century. Unfortunately, nowadays most of these buildings are in a neglected and very unsightly condition. Finally, in the village of Antopal, there was once a vast manor complex of the 19th century. And again, unfortunately, to this day nothing has been preserved from this manor, neither the manor house, nor secondary buildings, but only a sketch of the famous Belarusian artist (see below).
