Church of the Epiphany in Podvalye (Lost)

Фото 1
The parish in the village was founded in 1870, and there was a prayer house. In 1895, the parishioners built a wooden church with two altars. The church had two altars: the main one in honor of the Epiphany of the Lord and the side altar in the name of the holy unmercenaries and miracle workers Cosmas and Damian. The building was a tall two-light square with side extensions and a five-sided apse, topped with five domes, with a refectory and a multi-tiered bell tower. The church was closed in the 1930s and used as a grain storage facility. In 1943, it was reopened, but in 1953 it was closed again, the bell tower and domes were dismantled, and a club was placed in the building. Soon the church was completely dismantled. In 1955, a prayer house was built with donations from residents, which was converted into a 10-bed hospital in 1960.

The parish was restored in 1993. The modern church in honor of the Epiphany of the Lord is located in the former administrative building.

Description of the temple from the 1895 Church Records of the village of Podvalye: "The church is wooden, built by the parishioners in 1895. It has two altars: the main one in honor of the Epiphany of the Lord and the side altar in the name of the holy unmercenaries and miracle workers Cosmas and Damian. The village also had a wooden prayer house with an altar in the name of the Epiphany of the Lord, built during the construction of the current church."
