🏛 Church of the Life-Giving Trinity in Vorontsovo

ул. Академика Пилюгина, 1

A white mid-18th-century church with Baroque decoration and a bell tower at the entrance to the former Vorontsovo estate.

The 1990s restoration showed that all parts of the building were laid in the same brick at the same time — the wings had previously been thought to be later additions.
An unusual detail is the rounded west wall, which holds the main entrance.
In 1838, under the estate's owner Sergey Mukhanov, a two-tier bell tower and a side chapel were added to the church.
In Soviet times the building housed a plastics factory that made dominoes, photo-printing trays and children's toys.
By the 1980s the church stood in ruins without a dome; restoration began in the winter of 1990, and the bell tower was rebuilt almost from scratch.
Services resumed on 23 May 1990 — at first in the open air, among ruined walls.
