Sobre
Fatos rápidos: Esta igreja de madeira de 1893 é uma obra-prima da arquitetura popular. A sua torre sineira é adornada por quatro pequenas torres que simbolizam os quatro evangelistas.
Destaques: No interior encontra-se uma iconóstase de madeira única com 37 ícones, pintados por um artista local no século XIX. Sente-se o cheiro da madeira velha e do incenso, que se entranhou nos recantos ao longo de 130 anos.
Dicas de quem conhece
- Come early in the morning when the sun rays stream through the windows and illuminate the golden details of the iconostasis.
- Wear comfortable shoes, the path to the church leads along an unpaved trail.
- Photograph the bell tower from the southern side, its symmetry and wooden construction stand out best there.
- Before leaving, stop for a few minutes in silent prayer, the atmosphere here feels stronger than in a stone cathedral.
