Photo and description

The Church of Mikhail Tverskoy was erected on the site of a small wooden church (more precisely, a prayer house, where liturgy was not performed), built on the Great Kos by the Zaporozhye Cossacks at the turn of the 16-17 centuries. In the 11th year of the 19th century, Princess Varvara Golitsina, after she took possession of the land, built a new church and consecrated in honor of St. Prince Mikhail of Tverskoy. Ten years later, the new owner of Varvarovka, as the settlement was called, General K. de Lambert, built a stone church instead of a wooden church. At the end of the 19th century, the architect E. Stukenberg carried out reconstruction in the church and built a bell tower.

With the advent of Soviet power, the church of Mikhail Tverskoy was closed, the bell tower was destroyed. Within the walls of the church at different times there was an economic warehouse, pantries and even a prison. At the insistence and assistance of the parishioners in the middle of the last century, the church was finally opened, but its appearance left much to be desired, the bell tower and domes were missing. The church was blocked by a high fence and thickets of lilacs. Gradually, the church was slowly renewed. But the opportunity to make major repairs has appeared only recently.
