The Assumption Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Bobryshevo

Фото 1
Several hundred years ago, the residents of the village of Bobryshevo built a wooden church behind "Vasin's Hollow." One day, it burned down due to candles left burning after a wedding.

In 1821, a stone church with a bell tower was built on this site. It had three chapels dedicated to the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Archangel Michael, and Saint George the Victorious.

In 1883, local residents built a watchman's lodge and a house for the priest, which soon fell into disrepair. The church had a library with 113 volumes of religious and missionary literature, as well as copies of metric books from 1839 and confession records from 1879. Next to the church was a zemstvo school.

In 1935, by the decision of the presidium of the regional executive committee, the Assumption Church was closed and converted into a district House of Culture, destroying the bell tower and domes.

In March 1991, the church reopened its doors to the faithful.
