Dormition Church at Pechatniki

Dormition Church at Pechatniki (December 2012)

The Dormition Church located where Rozdestvensky Bulvar turns into Sretensky Bulvar is known as the Church at Pechatniki, as the area was previously known due to it being inhabited by people involved in the printing industry ('pechatniki'). The church was built in 1695 to replace an older version. It comprises a cube structure with a single dome attached to a bell tower. In the 1930s the church was closed and only consecrated once again in 1994.
