From the second half of the 14th century, Orthodox churches were built in Belarus using Western, Gothic masonry techniques, but on a Byzantine-Rusian plan. In the 15th century, the Catholic authorities of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania banned the construction of new brick Orthodox churches. This ban was lifted only in 1503. A new architectural school was quickly established, combining the features of Byzantine-Rusian and Gothic architecture. The new churches had a defensive character. This was caused by constant invasions of Muscovites and Tatars into the lands of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The church buildings were flanked by four corner towers, and the dome was set on a high tambour. The first such church was the St. Sophia cathedral in Polack, rebuilt at the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries. The second one was the Church of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Supraśl, built no earlier than 1510. Orthodox churches of this type are characteristic only of Belarusian architecture of the 16th century.
