Ss Florus and Laurus' Church at Zatsepa

Ss Florus and Laurus' Church at Zatsepa (July 2013)

The current version of Ss Florus and Laurus' Church at Zatsepa dates from 1739 and was built to replace the previous version that was destroyed by fire. It is an example of the empire style of architecture and has a single large dome and a bell tower over its entrance. In 1924 the church was looted of its relics and it was officially closed in 1938 having been given over to be used as an engraving workshop. During this period its frescos were destroyed and the upper tiers of it bell tower were removed. However in 1960 it became a protected building and restoration work began in 1980, although it was only returned to the Orthodox Church in 1991.
