Знаменская церковь, Orthodox church in Irkutsk, Russia.
The Znamensky Church features two-tiered windows, ornate stone carvings, and white walls crowned with five copper-green domes in Siberian Baroque style.
Built between 1757 and 1762 with funds from merchant Ivan Bechevin, the church became part of a larger monastery complex on the Angara River bank.
The church holds the relics of Saint Innocent of Irkutsk since 1990 and maintains regular Orthodox services with traditional Russian religious ceremonies.
Visitors can access the church daily from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM, with guided tours available in Russian that explain the architectural features.
The church grounds include a necropolis containing the graves of notable Siberian figures, including explorer Gregory Shelikhov and merchant families.
