No comments · Posted by Sergei Rzhevsky in Architecture, Regions, Travel
The Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord (1790) is an architectural monument of federal significance located in the village of Krasnoye in the central part of Tver Oblast of Russia. This picturesque church built in a pseudo-Gothic style is an almost exact copy of the Chesme Church in St. Petersburg (1780).
The height of the building is 24 meters, length and width are about 20 m. This red church looks especially unusual in winter against the backdrop of farmhouses and barns.
