Ascension Church of the Lord
Russia, Tver region, Torzhok city, Staritskaya street, 57
Description:
The one-headed church was built of stone in the 18th century next to the wooden monastery of the same name at the expense of A.A. Tetyukhin, headman I.K. Dmitriev, as well as other parishioners. Consecrated in 1854.
Around the territory of the church was built a stone fence, with two towers, one of which later became a chapel, and the second - a storage room for church supplies.

In 1903, a cemetery was opened next to this temple.
In 1939, worship services ceased in this church. The cemetery was closed in 1947.
