Church of Saint Sergius of Radonezh on the Kulikovo Field

The brick church features three distinct sections with two side towers and a central structure, incorporating traditional Russian architectural elements across its exterior.

Construction of the church began in 1913 under Tsar Nicholas II's support, serving as a memorial to the soldiers who died in the Battle of Kulikovo.

The church stands as part of the Kulikovo Field Museum complex, marking the location where Russian forces achieved a decisive victory against the Golden Horde.

Religious services resumed in 1992 after a fifty-year interruption, with regular Orthodox ceremonies now conducted by local clergy and accompanied by a choir.

One of the church towers displays a distinctive dome shaped like a warrior's helmet, symbolizing the military significance of its location.
