Assumption Cathedral in Vysokoye

Фото 1
The parish of the Assumption Church was founded in the 1870s after the completion of the Great Caucasian War. By 1883, a wooden church and a parish school were functioning in the village. In 1904, thanks to the active participation of the rector Harlampiy Semerdzhi, a new stone church was built, consecrated in honor of the Assumption of the Mother of God, and a bell tower was constructed next to it.

In 1929, the church was closed, and from 1930, the building, lacking an octagonal drum and dome, was used by local authorities as a vegetable storage.

In the early 2000s, the church, which was in a state of disrepair, was returned to the believers, and services resumed. In 2006, thanks to the efforts of the Greek diaspora, a sturdy monolithic reinforced concrete belt was constructed around the foundation of the church.

The stone church was built in the Russian-Byzantine style. It is small in size and has a cubic shape with many decorative elements on the facade. The window openings are arched, and the walls are plastered and painted white.
