Church of Tsarevich Dmitry on the Blood
Church of Tsarevich Dmitry on the Blood, Orthodox church in Uglich, Russia.
The red-walled church features five bright blue domes, white decorative elements, and stands within the Kremlin fortress complex overlooking the Volga River.
Built in 1681 at the location where Tsarevich Dmitry, the youngest son of Ivan the Terrible, met his death under mysterious circumstances in 1591.
The interior walls display detailed frescoes depicting biblical scenes and the events surrounding the death of Tsarevich Dmitry in traditional Russian painting style.
The church functions as both an active religious site and a museum, requiring an entrance fee and maintaining regular visiting hours throughout the year.
The building houses the original bell that was exiled to Siberia as punishment for announcing the death of Tsarevich Dmitry to the citizens of Uglich.
