Our Lady of Smolensk church
Our Lady of Smolensk church, Orthodox church in Borodino, Russia.
The church features an octagonal structure with a prominent single cupola and exhibits architectural elements of late 17th-century Moscow Baroque design.
Built between 1698 and 1701 by Timofey Savyolov, the church served as an observation point during the Battle of Borodino in 1812.
The church houses a historic icon screen from Moscow, installed in 1837 following a donation from Tsarevich Alexander for renovations.
