Transfiguration Church in Kovalyovo, Eastern Orthodox church in Sholohovo, Russia

The Transfiguration Church in Kovalyovo features traditional brick construction with a single dome and includes four square columns and two auxiliary chapels.

Built in 1345 by boyar Ontsifor Zhabin, the church functioned as the katholikon of the Kovalyovo Monastery and underwent restoration in 1970 following World War II damage.

The church walls contained extensive frescoes from 1380, including depictions of warrior saints and the first Russian representation of Jesus Christ in the tomb.

Located 4 kilometers east of Veliky Novgorod on the right bank of the Maly Volkhovets River, the church stands 900 meters north of the village.

From the original 450 square meters of frescoes, only 16 survived the war, but restoration work expanded the recovered area to 160 square meters.
