The introduced church

Cathedral Square, the city of Kargopol, Arkhangelsk region

Description:

Kargopol Vvedenskaya church was built in 1802. This is an Orthodox church, made in a strict archaic style. It is a small two-storey building, on the roof of which there are domes in the shape of bulbs.

A very interesting historical fact is connected with the church. In 1812, an unusual find was discovered in the basement of the temple. Previously, there concealed the royal property taken from Moscow.

Today the church building is occupied by the Local History Museum. It was passed on in 1933, when all Orthodox communities were closed in the country. But many returned their buildings, and the church remained a museum.

Despite everything, the building attracts with its architecture and unusual exhibitions. The most famous of them is Kargopollag. In the basement of the temple, various instruments for torture were collected, with the help of which people were abused during the Stalin period.
