Church of the Nativity of John the Baptist on the Volga
Church of the Nativity of John the Baptist on the Volga, Religious landmark on the Volga River banks in Uglich, Russia
The Church of the Nativity of John the Baptist displays late 17th-century Russian architecture with its ornate decorations and traditional design elements.
Built in 1689 by merchant Nikifor Chepolosov, the church survived the 1930s construction of a hydroelectric power plant while other monuments were demolished.
The church maintains Eastern Orthodox traditions through regular services and houses religious artifacts that represent Russian spiritual practices.
Located at Spasskaya Street 14, the church welcomes visitors throughout the year and maintains specific opening hours for religious ceremonies.
The church structure was preserved during Stalin's era when construction plans for the hydroelectric station were modified to protect this architectural monument.
