Mezhevo. Pokrovskaya Church (ruins).
The manor palace and park are certainly the most interesting in Mezhevo. And few people visit the brick church, which is located across the lake from the palace. The Orthodox Pokrovskaya Church (in some sources - the Church of the Resurrection of Christ) was built in 1830 by the then owner of the estate, Prince Konstantin Lubomirsky.
The temple building was constructed of red brick in the retrospective Russian style, which was fashionable at that time in the Russian Empire. It has an elongated volumetric-spatial composition: a vestibule, a refectory, a prayer hall and an apse. A bell tower was built above the narthex. The cubic volume of the prayer hall has passages. The light drum is octagonal. There are 2 stone crosses inside the church. The church is in a state of emergency and requires restoration.
