Church

Nizhny Novgorod region, Nizhny Novgorod, Ovrazhnaya, 94, Russia

Description:

In 1801, by decree of the Synod, the construction of a stone three-chaired church in the village of Vysokovo began. The construction of facades was carried out according to the plans of architect Ivan Mezhetsky.

The architecture of the temple is made according to the type of “ship”, where the altar and prayer hall, as well as the refectory and bell tower, located above the main entrance, were built with a strict axial location. Decoration of facades was carried out taking into account the then popular classicism and elements of the order and rustovka.

The temple was consecrated by Bishop Moses in 1815 in honor of the Life-Giving Trinity. During the war, the church made a great contribution to helping its comrades in the fight against the enemy. And after its completion, the Vysokovsky Church remained the only one that held divine services for parishioners from three surrounding districts (the number reached 5 thousand people).

Vysokovsky Church sheltered in 1943 Bishop Sergius Grishin, who lived here after the revival of the diocese. And since 1944, Bishop Zinovy Krasovsky was appointed rector of the church.
