Church of the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Andreevskoye

Фото 1
In 1788, thanks to the efforts of the local landowner Elizabeth Ivanovna Khomutova, a brick church of the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary was built in Andreevskoye with three altars. The building is designed in the classical style: the main volume is an octagon on a square base with a single dome drum. The northern and southern facades are adorned with triangular pediments, pilasters, and round windows on the second tier. Remnants of rustication remain on the walls. Adjacent to the refectory is a three-tiered bell tower with a drum. In 1886, a brick chapel with three altars was built at the southwest corner of the church fence: the Intercession of the Mother of God, Archangel Michael, and the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This church, along with the Introduction Church in the Lytarevo estate, constituted the Andreevskoye parish.

In 1933, the church was closed, and its building was repurposed as tractor workshops for the Sovkhoz 'Svoboda'. Currently, it is no longer in operation.
