Photo and description

The Resurrection Church is located in a village called Ladino, belonging to the Novorzhevsky district. The construction of the church took place in 1768 by order of the landowner General-in-chief Borozdin Korniliy Bogdanovich, who became a hero not only of the Seven Years, but also of the Russian-Turkish wars of the 18th century; Korniliy Bogdanovich became the creator of the Russian horse artillery. The Church of the Resurrection of Christ at the moment is a monument of the Catherine's Baroque style, in the features of which the features of the famous classicism style have already begun to appear.

Initially, the church had two side-chapels, one of which was consecrated in the name of the Resurrection of the Lord, and the second - in honor of the icon of Our Lady of Smolensk Hodegetria. Church parables consisted of several people. In addition to the Church of the Resurrection of Christ in the village of Ladino, one manor house with a mezzanine has survived to this day, as well as an old park, where you can find trees that are two hundred years old. The famous Borozdins' estate was visited by the commander M.I. Kutuzov, as well as the poet A.S. Pushkin.

The Church of the Resurrection is a one-apse, pillarless church.
