Antipievskaya Church (1745)
constructed in 1745 , represents a "winter-type" temple and it has a two-descent roofing. It is situated side by side with five-headed "summer-type" Lazarevskaya church. The original name of Antipievskaya church, that was used in the first years of its existance, is Sretenskaya. Until the beginning of the total church building period - wood was the dominant building material in Russia , but in 1745 on the very site of Sretenskaya church was constructed a new church ,made of stone and with a beautiful belfry having a concave dome, and it was renamed as Antipievskaya church.The church has been preserved with that kind of exterior up to our days.
