In Peski (North-East of Bezymyanny Island)
Our Lady of the Sign Old-Believers Church
The Our Lady of the Sign Old Believers Church was built between 1906 and 1907 following the adoption by Emperor Nicholas II of the Manifest on Religious Tolerance. It was built in the traditional church architectural style associated with Pskov and Novgorod Veliky. In 1936 the church was closed and during the Second World War it was used by the military and damaged in air raids. After the war the building was converted for use as a factory. It was only returned to the Nevskaya Old-Believer Pomorian Community in 2005 and subsequently restored.
