St John the Baptist's Church under the Pines
Close to the beginning of Ulitsa Pyatnitskaya is a classical-style bell tower which was built around 1780. Just behind the bell tower is its church - St John the Baptist's Church under the Pines. The current church dates from 1658 and was previously part of a monastery which stood here. The church was altered in the 18th century, giving the traditional style church a baroque makeover. During the Soviet era the church was closed and only reopened in the early 1990s.
