Church of Artemy Verkolskiy in Mugreevo-Nikolskoye

Фото 1
In the middle of the cemetery, located on the opposite side of the market square from the temple complex of the village, stands a small church. It was built in 1845 from brick and plastered. This cemetery church is in the style of late classicism, surrounded by a partially preserved brick fence with gates.

The church is a low two-tiered square structure with a gentle four-sided dome roof and a narrowed semicircular apse topped with an onion dome on a high neck. A small vestibule connects the church to a three-tiered bell tower, consisting of three squares that decrease in height. The lower tier has arched openings, the upper ones are rectangular, and the bell tower is crowned with a decorative roof with a dome.

The facades of the church are characterized by simplicity and a certain primitiveness: corner pilasters, moldings at the window sill level, a modest crowning cornice, and ribbon-like framing of arched windows with pointed tops. In the upper tier of the square, slightly reduced and separated by a shelf-like belt, there are three false openings resembling semicircular kokoshniks. The decoration of the bell tower is even more restrained, limited by cornices and pilasters with shelves on the sides of the openings of the middle square. The square is covered with a vaulted ceiling, the altar is barrel-shaped with a conch. Fragments of 19th-century oil paintings, parts of the iconostasis, and cubic grilles in the windows have been preserved. The gates are three-bay, with a large central arch flanked by arched gates, serving as a good example of small architectural forms in the traditions of classicism. The gate supports are decorated with paired pilasters and topped with a three-part profiled entablature.
