Churches of Our Lady of Smolensk and Our Lady of Vladimir
Churches of Our Lady of Smolensk and Our Lady of Vladimir, Orthodox church complex in Gordeevka district, Nizhny Novgorod, Russia.
The architectural ensemble consists of two churches: the Smolensk church with one tall dome and the Vladimir church with five domes and a bell tower.
The Smolensk church was built under Count Grigory Dmitrievich Stroganov's orders in the 1680s and consecrated in 1694 as a private family chapel.
The religious complex features elements of Western European Baroque combined with Russian architectural traditions, including Corinthian columns and ornate decorative patterns.
The Smolensk church reopened for religious services in 1993, while the Vladimir church returned to the Orthodox Diocese in 1998 after serving as a bakery.
The Smolensk church's interior lacks traditional support columns, creating an unusually spacious hall illuminated by large windows arranged in two tiers.
