Ascension Church in Grigorievka

Фото 1
In the village of Grigorievka, once owned by landowner Ustinov, the ruins of an Orthodox church built in 1823 can still be seen. This cold stone building with a bell tower was erected through the efforts of local landowner M.A. Ustinov. The church had two altars: the main one in honor of the Ascension of the Lord and in the refectory, in the name of the Archangel Michael.

The clergy consisted of a priest and a psalmist, for whom church houses were provided. The parish included the villages of Marfino and Natalino, where a literacy school was also located.

With the advent of Soviet power, services in Grigorievka ceased, and by October 1934, the church was closed. However, except for the dismantled bell tower, the building avoided destruction. Today, it is abandoned but remains in relatively good condition, with frescoes preserved on the walls and under the dome. Nevertheless, due to its remoteness from the district center and a lack of parishioners, the restoration of the church seems unlikely.
