Mstislavl. Church of the Holy Cross.

In the 19th century, during the construction of the church, the Kiev tract passed here - now it is Lenin Street. And the church was not in the center of the city of Mstislavl, but it was Kazimirov Sloboda, a suburb of Mstislavl. Once upon a time, there was a wooden Uniat church in this place, which was located in the very center of Kazimirov Sloboda.

The brick church of the Holy Cross was built in 1871 in retrospect-Russian style. The temple is made in canonical four-part composition. First, the vestibule - bell tower was built, then the refectory, prayer hall and apse. And the vertical dominant is the two-tier bell tower above the vestibule itself. And earlier, when there was still a separate town here, the Church of the Holy Cross was the architectural dominant of the entire neighborhood.

In recent years, a new fence was erected near the church, repairs were carried out and it was consecrated in honor of the miraculous icon of Our Lady of Tupichevskaya. Once there was a Tupichevsky monastery with four Orthodox churches not far from. Unfortunately, the monastery has not been preserved
