Annunciation Church

Annunciation Church (November 2011)

The Annunciation Church dates from 1673 and in form is a 'ship-like' church with a five domed structure attached via a closed vestibule to a bell tower. In 1935 the church was first given to the Renovationist Church but was then closed in the same year. There were discussions to demolish the church in 1958 as it was not considered an architectural monument worth saving. In the end only its domes and part of the bell tower were removed. After the fall of the Soviet Union it was returned to the Orthodox Church and restored.
