Lonely Planet review

This little gem of a church, built in the 1630s, is a exquisite example of Russian baroque. Its onion domes and tiers of red and white spade gables rise from a square tower. Its interior - only partially open due to renovation - is covered with 1650s' gospel frescoes by Simon Ushakov and others. A carved doorway leads into St Nikita the Martyr's chapel, above the vault of the Nikitnikov merchant family, one of whom built the church.
