Church of the Nativity of the Virgin in Podmoklovo

Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary
russia, Moscow
The Church of the Nativity of the Virgin is a stone church of the early 18th century, erected in the Italian style on the high bank of the Oka River in the village of Podmoklovo, Moscow Region. This is a two-height rotunda, covered with a high dome with lucarnes and a light drum, completed with a hemisphere. The rotunda is surrounded by an open arcade with 16 spans, on which there are statues of 12 apostles and 4 evangelists, made in human size from local limestone.
The church was built in 1714-1722 by order of the diplomat Prince G.F.Dolgorukov and consecrated, after the final completion of construction and finishing work, in 1754 in the name of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. From 1937 to 1992 the temple was closed and used as a granary. Since 1993, the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin has again become an active Orthodox church, in which restoration work has been underway since 2009.
The church keeps an especially revered, on the occasion of deliverance from cholera in 1848, an ancient icon of the Vladimir Mother of God. In honor of the icon every year on June 23, a religious procession takes place. On the wall of the temple is the painting "The Last Judgment", depicting the torment of sinners in hell.

I have long wanted to go see this wonderful unusual church - finally, I got out. The church is really very unusual - a rotunda, such as I saw only in Vyshny Volochek, an uncharacteristic building for Russian temple architecture. All information about it can be found on the Podmoklovo website. ru - there are schedules of services. Unfortunately, I arrived early and did not get to the service - but I looked at the architecture with pleasure. The church has been restored, it is in excellent condition, repair work is nearing completion around it - of course, there is a little bit of rubbish.
