Wjalikaja Swarotwa ( Belarusian Вялікая Сваротва ; Russian Большая Своротва ), postal code - 225323 is a village in Selsawet Patschapawa , in the northwest of the Rajons Baranovichi , Brest Region , Belarus .

Well known is the unique Union Church of the Holy Trinity, which was built in the middle of the 18th century from wood in a triangular shape with three entrances on each side. In 1823 the wooden structure was demolished and a new church with an almost identical shape made of stone was built on the same site . The church burned down during the Second World War .
