Nativity of the Theotokos Church

Very atmospheric place with history. Amazing and impressive.

The place is amazing, the beautiful church. We just walked around, a young man (probably a novice) came out, opened the temple, told everything and presented a booklet. We were in November, it was amazing with what dedication novices and monks are working. It is evident that they take care not only for the land around the temple, but also for a large territory. With love, descriptions of animals and plants that can be found in these places are made. We will definitely come again. And we recommend it to everyone. P.S. You can take pictures with permission. We did not dare to tear people away from work.

There are real wax candles that smell like honey.

Originally a wooden church was built on the site of an ancient Slavic temple. The stone church was built in 1230-1240. and was part of the monastery, which was first mentioned around 1386. In 1553 Perynsky monastery burned out. In 1634 he was assigned to the St. George's Monastery. In 1767 the monastery was abolished, and the building was turned into a parish church. In 1828 there is a monastery here. In the years 1826-1828. By order of Photius the church is thoroughly reconstructed. The old vestibule is dismantled and a new church, equal in size to the church itself, appears. The walls are laid, a curtain rod of the classical form is made. A new hip roof closed the bottom third of the drum. The arkature belt of the drum is altered and a huge bulbous head is arranged. The apsid received a drawn semi-dome shape. The fresco painting is confused and a new oil appears. The choruses and windows are destroyed. Builders of the XIX century by all means tried to "straighten out" the pyramid of the church. The building becomes faceless. In the 1860s, ovens appeared in the church and an outbuilding. During the Great Patriotic War, the covers of the monument were damaged.

The Church of the Nativity of the Virgin is located on the territory of Perynsky Skat and is the main of its buildings. The church is located in the center of the meadow, surrounded by trees. It is one of the few monuments of the 13th century, supposedly built in 1226 (the building itself, based on the construction technology, dates from the 30s of the 13th century), that is, the church belongs to the pre-Mongol period. The church is very small (area 7.5 by 9.5 meters), single-domed. Its difference from the late architecture is that on its facades there is no decor and the facades are not divided by shoulder blades. The blades here are not what they dig the earth, but an architectural detail, which is a flat and narrow vertical ledge of the wall (usually weakly protrudes the entire height of the wall). Inside the church there are four large rectangular columns, so there is almost no space and the altar part occupies half of the church. Church acting.
