Ensemble of the Rogozhskaya Old Believer Community
Ensemble of the Rogozhskaya Old Believer Community, Religious architectural complex in Nizhegorodsky District, Russia
The Rogozhskaya Old Believer Community Ensemble includes the Pokrovsky Cathedral, Resurrection Bell Tower, and Church of Nativity spread across an expansive territory.
In 1771, Old Believer merchants established medical facilities during a plague epidemic and received permission from Catherine II to construct stone churches.
The architectural ensemble serves as the spiritual center for the Popovtsy branch of Old Believers, maintaining traditional religious practices and ceremonies.
The complex remains open for religious services and houses numerous historical artifacts, including rare Russian icons from the 13th to 17th centuries.
The Pokrovsky Cathedral, designed by architect Matvey Kazakov in 1792, surpasses the Moscow Kremlin's Assumption Cathedral in floor area dimensions.
