Religious, Spiritual sights in Arkhangelsk

  1. A

    Church of SS Zosima, Savvaty & German

    Arkhangelsk is not a city of great churches but there are a few small, pretty ones along the riverbank. The green-and-white Church of SS Zosima, Savvaty & German is an outpost of the Solovetsky Monastery with recently carved wooden sculptures and an iconostasis that's still a work in progress.

  2. B

    Nikolsky Church

    Arkhangelsk is not a city of great churches but there are a few small, pretty ones along the riverbank. The Nikolsky Church, dating from 1904, is still being rebuilt following Soviet-era desecration, but is quite richly decorated and some of the unusual original ceiling frescoes survive.
