Ascension Church, Yaroslavl
Ascension Church, Yaroslavl, Orthodox church in Yaroslavl, Russia
The Ascension Church stands with four piers and five domes, incorporating traditional Orthodox architectural elements in its white stone construction at Svobody Street.
The initial structure, dating from 1584, was established by Greek merchant Basil Kondaki to prevent the construction of a Lutheran church in the area.
The interior contained frescoes painted by artist Aleksey Soplyakov in 1736, reflecting the Russian Orthodox artistic traditions of the eighteenth century.
The church returned to religious function in the late 2000s after serving as a depot during the Soviet period, and now welcomes visitors daily.
Merchant Mikhail Ivanovich Vakhromeev funded the complete reconstruction of the church in 1855, adding new decorative paintings to the structure.
