Church of the Epiphany, Regional Orthodox church in Novousmansky District, Russia
The Church of the Epiphany is an Orthodox place of worship in Novousmansky District featuring white-painted walls and traditional onion domes that define Russian church design. The structure includes a bell tower with a cross and an interior space arranged with religious icons and devotional elements.
The building was constructed in 1885 during a period of church expansion across the Voronezh region. This construction occurred when religious architecture throughout the Russian Empire was undergoing renewal and growth.
The church functions as a gathering place where local residents come together for Orthodox services and celebrations that mark the rhythm of community life. People use the space for personal prayer and collective worship according to traditional practices.
The building is freely visible from the road and can be viewed from outside, with the best light for viewing in morning hours. Visitors should dress respectfully and maintain appropriate distance when approaching or entering this sacred space.
The church was designed by the Voronezh architect V. V. Staynovsky and built in 1885. Its single dome, side vestibules, narrow refectory and three-tier bell tower combine Empire style with eclectic elements. In August 2009 Metropolitan Sergius of Voronezh and Borisoglebsk consecrated the altar.
