Church of Boris and Gleb in Carpenters
Russia, Veliky Novgorod, Alexander Nevsky embankment
Description:
The stone church of Boris and Gleb in Carpenters was built in 1536 on the right bank of the Volkhov River. It was built in five months by joint efforts of Novgorod residents of Zapolskaya and Konyukhovaya streets, as well as Novgorod and Moscow merchants. From the ancient single-domed temples it is distinguished by a five-domed.
The iconostasis of the Borisogleb Church has preserved a number of icons of the 14th-16th centuries, which were transferred to the Novgorod Museum.
In the 1980s-1990s, restoration work of the temple was carried out, which was finally completed in 1991. Today it is an active church.
