Kazan Church (Novonikolskoe, Penza Region)

Фото 1
The church, dedicated to the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God, was built in 1849 thanks to the efforts of Lieutenant Platon Alexandrovich Plescheev. In 1909, Priest Fyodor Alexandrovich Rasskazov financed the renovation of the left iconostasis and the creation of the right one. In the 1930s, the church was closed. The building of the church is designed in a classical style and includes a separate two-tiered bell tower and a cruciform volume of the church, formed by a square base with protruding rectangular risalits of the chapels, an apse, and a narthex, covered with a gable roof. The decor on the church is almost absent.

It is possible to enter the interior, and there is access to the bell tower. Faint frescoes have survived on the walls.
