Church of the Theotokos of Smolensk

The Church of the Theotokos of Smolensk features Eastern Orthodox architectural elements with prominent domes and traditional religious decorations throughout its structure.

Construction of this religious edifice began in 1797, during a period when Arzamas developed into a major trading center in the Nizhny Novgorod region.

The church belongs to the Arzamas metochion of Troitsky Serafimo-Diveyevsky Convent and maintains Eastern Orthodox traditions through regular services and ceremonies.

Located at Lenina Street 43 in central Arzamas, the church welcomes visitors and worshippers daily, with special services held during Orthodox religious celebrations.

This regional cultural heritage site incorporates architectural elements from both Moscow and local Nizhny Novgorod building traditions of the 18th century.
