The image displays the former Lutheran Church, also known as the Holy Cross Church or Museum of Local Lore, located in Polatsk, Belarus, under an overcast sky with light grey clouds. The main subject is a red brick building featuring a tall, dark-roofed steeple topped with a ship-shaped weather vane. Architectural details include pointed arched windows, decorative brickwork, and a circular window above the central arched wooden entrance. Small flags, displaying red and green colors, are affixed to the facade near the entrance. An attached white annex on the right side of the main building features a large, multi-colored poster with Cyrillic text, partially decipherable as "ИСТОРИЧЕСКИЙ" (Historical). To the left and rear of the main structure, a smaller, darker building is partially visible. In the immediate foreground, a cracked asphalt road is visible, marked with a white solid line, a white left-turn arrow, and a white bicycle lane symbol. A grey tiled sidewalk parallels the road. Between the sidewalk and the building, a manicured green lawn is edged by neatly trimmed green hedges, defining pedestrian pathways. A lamppost with a partially visible blue sign stands within this landscaped area. The background consists of dense green trees, suggesting a wooded or park area, which obscure a rising hill to the right. To the left, a weathered red brick wall runs horizontally behind the lawn, separating it from a multi-story white building with a green roof. A dark-colored sedan is parked behind this wall. Another white building is partially visible in the distance through the trees on the far right. No individuals or animals are present in the scene.
