Church of St. Nicholas of Myra
Detailed description
Originally, a wooden church was built in honor of St. Nicholas of Myra in 1756. In 1802, the new owner of the estate, Andrei Nikolaevich Dolgorukov, began building a new stone church, and by 1827 the construction was completed. In 1827, the lower ("warm") church was illuminated, and in 1828 the upper ("cold") one. Later, the wooden church was demolished. The church was closed in the mid-1930s, and the bell tower was demolished. In 1988, parishioners of the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood in Andreevka wanted to return the St. Nicholas Church to the Russian Orthodox Church. The building was a large three-dimensional cube, which was surrounded on four sides by projections, namely a rectangular altar from the east and small multi-faceted ones from the other sides. The church also has a large drum with a dome-hemisphere and light lancet openings in the Neo-Gothic style.
