Church of John the Baptist

The Church of John the Baptist is a neoclassical Orthodox temple with smooth exterior walls and traditional brick details framing the entrances and windows. The interior is supported by four pillars that hold up a domed ceiling, giving the space its distinctive shape.

The temple was built in 1790 during a period when many Orthodox churches were being constructed throughout Russia. Its construction was part of a broader movement of religious building in the region at that time.

The interior walls display religious frescoes and depictions of saints that reflect different phases of Russian Orthodox artistic expression. These images show how believers expressed their faith through visual art during various periods of the church's use.

The temple is located in the Nesvetaj area and can be found at the designated coordinates. Visitors should know this is a protected site and should enter with respect for its religious and cultural importance.

The masonry was built using crushed stone and pebbles mixed into the construction, a method common to late 1700s building practices in the region. This technique shows how builders worked with materials that were locally available.
