The calling card of Rossony is the famous Church of the Ascension of the Lord
- The church was built in 1879 from local rubble stone. Like all churches in the district, it belonged to the Polotsk diocese. As for the architecture of the building, it was erected in the national-romantic artistic style, focused on reviving the traditions and forms of ancient Russian architecture. The main cube-shaped volume of the temple was crowned with five domes. A two-tiered bell tower, topped with a cupola, with side buildings is attached to the church. The church was built "cold" (without stoves), its center was covered with a tin roof, topped with a dome (not preserved). Nearby were the houses of the rector, deacon, bell-ringer, and psalmist. Opposite the church was a three-year church-parish school, where, in addition to basic subjects, the Law of God was taught. The old wooden church, which was located nearby, was dismantled, and a chapel was built in its place.
- Unfortunately, before the Great Patriotic War, the Rossony church was closed, and the icons and church utensils were lost. However, time puts everything in its place: in 1992, the Orthodox church in Rossony was restored with voluntary donations from parishioners, and it was given a new name – the Church of the Ascension of the Lord. In 2004, the religious building was included in the State List of Historical and Cultural Values of the Republic of Belarus. In 2006, a new iconostasis was installed in the Rossony church, and in 2011, the Church of the Ascension of the Lord appeared before us in a new guise – restoration work on the reconstruction of the dome roof was completed.

St. Josaphat Kuntsevych Church
The construction of St. Josaphat Kuntsevych Church began in 2005. It took five years to complete. The appearance of the church features elements of Gothic style. After the main work was completed, the walls of the church were painted with scenes that trace back to the work of the Italian artist Giotto di Bondone.
On one of the walls of the interior, there is a cross that local residents managed to save after the church in the village of Gorbachevo was destroyed. A fragment of that temple is also embedded in one of the walls.

"Serebryanka" Spring - blessed source of spring water
Legends tell of the amazing properties of the water from the spring, which people have nicknamed "Serebryanka". It is said to possess life-giving power, to heal, and to give vitality. Since ancient times, local residents have worn a path to the spring. In former times, a water carrier from the estate of the Rossony landowner Glazko also drove here. The master knew that no cleaner water could be found in the area.
A stream flows from the spring; it does not freeze even in 30-degree frost. The bottom seems to be strewn with silvery grains that shimmer in the sun. When the water was analyzed, it turned out that it contains a large amount of silver. So, its name is not for nothing.
Not long ago, "Serebryanka" shone with golden domes over new log structures installed over the well and bathing house. A path was paved to the spring, benches decorated with wooden sculptures were installed, and a parking lot was equipped.
On the Epiphany holiday, people come to the consecrated spring. The brave in spirit, with a prayer, immerse themselves in the font, or, as it is correctly called, in the Jordan. Epiphany water, they claim, warms the soul. In the frost after immersion, it feels as if someone covers you with a warm blanket. Many fill containers with "silver" water, which symbolizes the eternal flow of life.
