Church of the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary

IMG_3377.jpg

Samara region, Pokrovka village. Temple in honor of the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Construction began in 1906. It took a long time to build, finishing the work in 1914. During the revolution of 1917, the priest who was consecrating the church was killed on the territory of the temple. In Soviet times, the temple building was transferred to the needs of the collective farm. It looks like there was a granary here. Subsequently it was abandoned. In the early 90s, the church was reopened and restored.

An unusual combination of red bricks and blue domes.

Unusual, but it seems to me quite harmonious

They used to know how to build beautifully. Compared to modern churches. But that's my personal opinion.🙂
