🏛 Bogoslovka Estate and Pokrov Church

Невский лесопарк, Всеволожский р-н (Октябрьская наб.)

A wooden tent-roofed church in the spirit of northern architecture (built in 2006) and a village-style estate in the forest by the Neva.

The Pokrov Church is a copy of the 1708 church from Anhimovo in the Vytegra churchyard, which burned in 1963.
The reconstruction project was prepared by Alexander Opolovnikov from his own 1956 measurements.
The log frame was cut near Petrozavodsk and moved to the forest park in 2005; stones of the burned church were laid in the foundation.
The church has 25 domes and is 19 m tall; the minor consecration was in 2006, the full one on 14 October 2008.
The estate's historic house was built in 1831 by V. I. Beretti, although family legend attributed it to Montferrand.
Since 1990 the lost ensemble of the Zinoviev dacha has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage site together with the centre of Petersburg.
