Trinity Church in Mugreevo-Nikolsk

Фото 1
The Trinity Church belongs to the type of modest rural churches typical for the Vladimir province of the mid-18th century. This type also includes the Kazan Church in Khomutovo and the Nikolsk Church in Sakhtysh, both located in the Teikovsky district.

The church is a low two-light square structure made of brick, plastered and whitewashed, which is now topped with a four-pitched roof that replaced the lost original. The building is adjoined by a narrow five-sided altar and a rectangular, relatively small refectory, the narthex of which has not survived. The side facades of the square are divided by flat pilasters into three parts with window openings, between which are two simple ledges. The walls of the altar and refectory are decorated with horizontal rustication. Arched windows are framed with ribbon-like frames with locks and window sills. The southern facade, facing the square, has almost three times as many openings as the northern one, with most of the windows being false. In the upper light of the square, the false windows of the side parts are connected to the unusual shape of the internal ceiling, which is a closed eight-ribbed vault with corner trompes, the bases of which are located quite low, in the middle of these windows. A characteristic feature of the interior is the deep niches that start from the floor and unite the windows vertically. The altar is covered with a barrel vault with a conch, while the refectory has a trough vault oriented transversely.
