Om
Hurtige fakta: Denne kirke var den sidste ortodokse helligdom, der blev opført i det Russiske Kejserrige før Første Verdenskrig. Dens vægge mindes også underskrivelsen af freden i Brest-Litovsk i 1918.
Højdepunkter: I sovjettiden blev der indrettet en officersklub her, og på alteret stod et billardbord. I dag kan man stadig i helligdommen se autentiske fresker fra slutningen af det 19. århundrede, der er bevaret under alle historiens lag.
Insidertips
- Ask the sacristan to show you the secret basement where film projectors were kept during the Soviet era.
- The best photos are taken from the western side, when the sun illuminates the golden domes of the church.
- Wear comfortable shoes, as the stairs to the bell tower are steep and made of metal.
- The fewest visitors are on weekdays before noon.
