In the village of Radogoshch, Komarichsky District, on Naberezhnaya Street, there is the Assumption Church, which in the 18th century was part of the architectural complex of Princess Natalia Golitsyna's estate. She became the prototype for the countess in Pushkin's work "The Queen of Spades."
The architectural design of the church reflects the skill of an outstanding, possibly metropolitan, architect. The fence surrounding the Assumption Church was made in the second half of the 19th century from metal decorative rods with three horizontal crossbars and scrolls, resting on brick pillars. In the southwest corner of the fence, there is a one-story brick watchman's lodge.
The church was built in 1787 at the request of Princess Golitsyna. Its brick walls are plastered, and white stone, granite, and stucco were used in the construction. This original estate church in the classical style is one of the significant monuments of this period in the region.
