Ensemble of St Lazarus' and St Antipas' Churches

Ensemble of St Lazarus' and St Antipas' Churches (May 2013)

In between Torgovaya Ploschad and the Rizopolozhensky Convent is another church ensemble: the beautiful summer St Lazarus' Church and the brightly coloured winter St Antipas' Church. St Lazarus' Church dates from 1667 and boast a double row of kokoshniks, five black domes and three carved portals. The main structure of the neighbouring St Antipas' Church, which dates from 1745, is much simpler but it makes up for this plainness by having a wonderfully decorative bell tower.
