Church of the Holy Trinity in Cherntsy

Фото 1
The church, built in the mid-18th century, was supplemented in 1833 with two chapels on either side of the refectory, a bell tower, a fence, and possibly a lodge to the southwest of the temple, funded by the landowner Titov. All buildings are made of brick and plastered to resemble whitewashing. To this day, the fence has been lost, and the tops of the church and bell tower, as well as the ceiling of the refectory, have not survived. Until recently, there was a two-story wooden school opposite, built in 1891 with funds from landowner Dyatlova. This modest rural church is executed in the traditions of the 17th century, with elements of late classicism in the refectory and bell tower. The central part of the composition is a two-light square, elongated along the north-south axis and covered with a four-pitched roof. To the east, it is adjoined by a semicircular apse, and to the west, an expanded refectory of rectangular shape with rounded corners. Above the western facade of the refectory rises a three-tiered bell tower with a square lower tier and semi-tier, and round upper tiers. The corners of the square are decorated with pilasters supporting a cornice that cuts off the band of kokoshniks. The apse is crowned with a stepped cornice that transitions to the eastern pilasters of the square. In the center of the side facades of the square are rectangular doorways, next to which and above them are unframed windows. The windows of the apse are adorned with triangular pediments. The rounded corners of the refectory are rusticated, and the windows have semicircular arches. The lower tier of the bell tower with an arched opening slightly protrudes from the western facade in the form of a risalit and is topped with a triangular pediment with small towers. The walls on either side of it are rusticated. The semi-tier is also rusticated, with rounded corners, and semicircular windows located in the center of the faces. The third and fourth tiers are pierced with high arched openings for ringing. The square is covered with a vaulted ceiling with arches above the windows, and at the top, there is a flat stucco rosette. A wide arched opening connects it to the refectory, which is divided into five rooms: one large in front of the temple with two chapels on the sides and two more on the sides of the lower tier of the bell tower. All were covered with barrel vaults with arches above the openings. In the vault and upper parts of the walls of the square, small fragments of darkened painting from the second half of the 19th century have survived.

The lodge is a modest residential building in the style of late classicism. The small rectangular volume is covered with a gable roof. At the edges of the street facade are pilasters. The windows are rectangular, combined with a window sill on the western facade. A stepped cornice runs along the top of the facades. The entrance is located on the northern side facade, and the interior is divided by late wooden partitions, with flat ceilings.
