Klesina - is a very small village of Vileyka district, Minsk region of Belarus. The main architectural landmark of the village of Klesina is the chapel, built in the middle of the 19th century. True, for the sake of it, it should be noted that this chapel is located near the road in a clean field, and not inside the village of Klesina. Well, the village of Klesina is simply the nearest settlement in relation to this chapel.

The chapel in the village of Klesina was erected as a Catholic, but after the suppression of the uprising of 1863-64 it was transferred to Orthodox believers. In the interwar period, when the village of Klesina was part of Poland, the chapel was returned to the Catholics. After the Second World War, the chapel was closed and turned into ruins. In the early 1990s, the chapel in the village of Klesina was again transferred to the Orthodox believers and restored. To date, this functioning Orthodox chapel is in good condition and is an interesting landmark. This small architectural monument may well be of interest to some tourists and travelers around Belarus.
