Viarejki - is a large village of Vawkavysk district, Grodno region of Belarus. The main attraction of the village of Viarejki is the Catholic church of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The decision to build this church in the village of Viarejki was made in 1826. The main stage of the construction of the temple was carried out in the 1830s. In 1840, an almost finished Catholic church in the village of Viarejki was solemnly consecrated, however, construction work was fully and finally completed only in 1848. After the defeat of the national liberation uprising of 1863-64, this temple was transferred to the Orthodox Church, and then accordingly converted and rebuilt into an Orthodox church. In 1921, when the western part of Belarus, and the village of Viarejki in particular, became part of Poland, the temple was returned to the Catholic Church and rebuilt again.

In Soviet times, in the second half of the 20th century, the church in the village of Viarejki did not function, and the temple building served as a granary. In the early 1990s, when Belarus became an independent country, the temple was again returned to the Catholic Church, after which it was gradually restored and renovated. Today, the Catholic church in the village of Viarejki is a functioning temple and is in good condition. Near the church of the Blessed Virgin Mary is located the bell tower, which was rebuilt in 1996 on the model of the previously lost original bell tower of the 19th century.
