Church of Elias the Prophet

The Church of Elias the Prophet displays white stone walls with five domes, standing at the center of Arzamas religious architecture.

Built in 1746, the church represents classical Russian Orthodox architectural principles of the 18th century with its symmetrical layout and towering structure.

Local craftsmen incorporated traditional Russian religious motifs and patterns into the stone carvings that decorate the church exterior and interior walls.

The church maintains regular services throughout the week, with extended visiting hours during religious holidays and special celebrations of Orthodox calendar.

The bell tower contains an array of 18th-century bells that create distinctive sound patterns during religious ceremonies and city celebrations.
