. In the Chronicles of the time found admiring reviews about the founder of the Church, which amazed visitors with contemporaries daring architectural solutions, the richness of its interior and especially winnable smotrevshejsja against the backdrop of a squat wooden buildings. Common name of the Church is popularly Svirskaya, historians relate that she was standing at the crossroads of trade routes from the Sivers'kyi or Svirskih lands. Shrine complex of tiled brick-plinfy, jointed with lime mortar. Almost all internal walls and vaults were painted, leading up to our days only in small fragments. The floors were covered with slip glaze ceramic plates. The area known as the Smjadynju River of the same name, which is this temple is interesting because here in the year 1015 on the orders of Prince Sviatopolk, nicknamed Okajannym, was subsequently killed by his brother Prince Gleb, who became his brother Boris first Russian Saints. Not far from the scene of the crime is now a Memorial, built a small chapel, and from the land of beats Holy source. A place worth visiting.

Расположена недалеко от места, где был убит один из первых русских святых князь Глеб Владимирович. Построена в византийском стиле. Стоит на пригорке, смотрится величественно как издали, так и вблизи. ... more »

Located not far from the place where he was killed by one of the first Russian Holy Prince Gleb Vladimirovich. Built in the Byzantine style.

Церковь Архистратига Михаила была построена на месте старой деревянной церкви Михаила Архангела 18 века, по благословению и на средства Святого праведного Иоанна Кронштадтского, а также пожертвования Святого мученика Императора Всероссийского Николая Александровича Романова (Николая II). Строительство велось с 1905 по 1913 год. Поражает размахом и монументальностью. Охраняется государством как памятник архитектуры, в настоящее время принадлежит приходу Петропавловского балогочиния Смоленской епархии Смоленской метрополии Русской Православной Церкви. Имеет два престола, второй посвящен иконе Богородицы (Одигидрия). Пожелаем настоятелю святого храма сего Отцу Иоанну многие лета, бодрости духовной и промысла Божьего в деле восстановления церкви и надеемся в скором времени увидеть внутреннее убранство храма в том великолепии и величии, в коем его видел современник 20 века!

We wish this Holy Temple priest Father John many summers, the vivacity of the spiritual and the Providence of God in restoring the Church and hope soon to see the Interior of the Temple in the magnificence and grandeur, in which it saw contemporary 20 century!
