Assumption Church in Bugrovskoye Cemetery
Assumption Church in Bugrovskoye Cemetery, Old Believer church in Bugrovskoye Cemetery, Nizhny Novgorod, Russia
The Assumption Church stands as a prominent example of Russian Revival architecture, featuring traditional design elements and decorative patterns across its exterior walls.
Built in 1916 by architect Vladimir Pokrovski, the church represents a period when Old Believers gained official recognition following the 1905 Edict of Tolerance.
The church maintains pre-reform Orthodox liturgical traditions, including specific prayer rituals and monodic singing that date back to the 17th century.
Visitors can access the church through Bugrovskoye Cemetery, where regular services follow the traditional Old Believer calendar and customs.
The building remains one of the few structures in Nizhny Novgorod that combines Russian Revival architecture with specific design elements for Old Believer worship.
