No comments · Posted by Sergei Rzhevsky in Architecture, Photos, Regions
Russia is becoming known not only for its glorious past remains like churches and fortresses but for newly built masterpieces like the following one – the church constructed in 2000-2001 in Nadovrazhino village, Istrinsky district of Moskovskaya oblast.
It was built on the place where the church of the 18th century had been standing before being destroyed in the 1930th (the photos were captured by av_otus)
