Chapel of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Kostroma

Фото 1
The Assumption Chapel in the Trading Rows was originally built along with the Tobacco Rows in the 1820s. Previously, there was a chapel of the Assumption Cathedral at this site, which was demolished, and a new chapel in the style of classicism was constructed on the southern side of the Gingerbread Rows. It was adorned not with a dome, but with a spire. The windows of the chapel are interesting in their shape, reminiscent of false Gothic or neo-Gothic, popular in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The chapel was likely dismantled during the Soviet era but was restored during the renovation of the Rows in 1950. It is now entrusted to the faithful, and services are held there.
