Resurrection church, Matigory, Orthodox temple in Kholmogorsky District, Russia

The Resurrection Church in Matigory is a stone, single-storey Orthodox church with a stone bell tower, built in 1694 in the village of Khetka, part of Verkhniye Matigory. It replaced earlier wooden churches on the site and contains three altars, including a side chapel dedicated to Saint Paraskeva. The building suffered severe damage during the Soviet period, when it was used as a grain store.

Two wooden churches, dedicated to Saint Nicholas and Saint Paraskeva, stood in Verkhniye Matigory in 1597. They were rebuilt in 1652 and burned down in 1685. The following year a stone church with three altars was founded on the site; it was completed and consecrated on 10 July 1694. In 1937 the church was closed and used by the Kolkhoz named after Kalinin as a grain store.

The church has three altars: the main one dedicated to the Resurrection of Christ and a side chapel (pridel) of Saint Paraskeva, whose name survives in the 1948 handover act as "Paraskevsky pridel". The building stands in the village of Khetka, part of Verkhniye Matigory. Its bells were removed for melting down after the start of the Great Patriotic War.

The church stands in the village of Khetka, part of Verkhniye Matigory in Kholmogorsky District, Arkhangelsk Oblast, on the left bank of the Northern Dvina. It is a rural monument reached by road from Arkhangelsk; the building is a protected federal heritage site, so access to the interior may be limited outside services.

The church was closed in 1937 and handed to the Kalinin collective farm, which used it to store grain and bread. When the Great War began, its bells were taken down to be melted. A 1948 handover report noted smashed tsar gates, missing icons and a destroyed fence.
