Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Derevenki

Фото 1
A stone three-altar church, built in the Empire style with funds from the princes of Baryatinsky, replaced the previous wooden structure. Construction was completed in 1839, although some sources indicate 1834. The church has chapels dedicated to Alexander Nevsky and Dimitri of Thessalonica. The main cubic volume of the building, topped with a dome drum featuring large semicircular windows and an onion dome, is surrounded by rectangular extensions of the altar and side entrances, as well as a refectory with a two-tiered bell tower with a spire. The church was closed by decree on October 2, 1940, and was used as a club, then as a grain storage facility. In the late 1940s, it was reopened and has remained so since. The church is recognized as a regional architectural monument.
