Romanov Side

Archangel Michael's Church

On the other side of the ravine which runs down the centre of the Romanov Side of Tutatev is the Archangel Michael's Church.  The two-storey church with an attached bell tower was built in 1751 to replace an earlier wooden version which is known to have existed since at least 1594.  In 1854 the church became a co-religionists (edinoverye) church which means that the old-rituals were observed here, although it was actually part of the established Orthodox Church.  In 1930 the church was closed and its property was transferred to the Intercession Church.  It was subsequently used by a printing house, which keep the building in a good condition.  In 1989 it was returned to the Orthodox Church.
