Church of the Saviour Behind the Pond in Kostroma, Russia

The Church of the Saviour Behind the Pond features white stone walls, multiple domes, and traditional Russian architectural elements near a small body of water.

Construction of the current structure began in 1645 and was completed by 1651, replacing an earlier church from the 13th century reign of Prince Vasily Yaroslavich.

The church houses religious artifacts including the Feodorovskaya Icon of the Mother of God, making it a center for Orthodox worship in Kostroma.

Visitors can reach the church through public transportation or by walking from central Kostroma, with guided tours available during regular opening hours.

The church survived repurposing as a military warehouse during Soviet times and underwent extensive restoration between 1967 and 1969 to preserve its historical features.
