About

The Zechariah and Elisabeth Church, completed in 1776, stands as a stunning example of Siberian Baroque architecture. This impressive two-story structure features six side chapels adorned with intricate decorations that reflect its historical significance. Located in the picturesque foothills of Tobolsk on Bazarnaya Square, it once served as a central hub for commerce and administration in the city. The church's gilded domes were crafted using a unique fire technique, adding to its majestic appearance.

(Translated by Google) Construction was completed in 1776, the majestic two-story church with six side chapels, with a solemn monumental composition and rich decor, belongs to the best examples of “Siberian Baroque”. The heads of the temple were gilded in a special way - “through fire”. At that time, the church occupied a dominant place in the foothills of Tobolsk, located on Bazarnaya Square, and formed the commercial and administrative center of the city. In the lower church the main thing was the Resurrection Throne, the chapels of Zachariah-Elizabeth and Demetrius of Rostov; at the top is the main altar - Ascension, the chapels of the Origin of Honest Trees and Tikhvin. The icon of the Church of Zechariah and Elizabeth “Joy of All Who Sorrow” is considered miraculous. In Soviet times, the temple was plundered; workshops of the disabled people's artel, the city committee, living rooms, and furniture workshops were located here. In the 90s, the destroyed church was transferred to the Tobolsk-Tyumen diocese. (Original) Строительство закончилось в 1776 г., величественная двухэтажная церковь с шестью приделами, с торжественной монументальной композицией и богатым декором принадлежит к лучшим образцам «сибирского барокко». Главы храма были позолочены по-особому – «через огонь». В то время церковь занимала главенствующее место в подгорной части Тобольска, расположившись на Базарной площади, и формировала торгово-административный центр города. В нижнем храме главным был Воскресенский престол, приделы Захарие-Елизаветинский и Димитрия Ростовского; наверху главный престол — Вознесенский, приделы Происхождения честных древ и Тихвинский. Икона церкви Захария и Елизаветы «Всех скорбящих радость» считается чудотворной. В советское время храм был разграблен, здесь размещались мастерские артели инвалидов, горкомхоз, жилые комнаты, мебельные цеха. В 90-х годах разрушенную церковь передали Тобольско-Тюменской епархии.
(Translated by Google) Church from 1776. An ancient and significant place in Tobolsk. One of the most beautiful churches in the foothills. It took a long time to recover. I highly recommend visiting. (Original) Церковь 1776 года. Старинное и знаменательное место Тобольска. Одна из самых красивых церквей подгорной части. Длительное время восстанавливалась. Настоятельно рекомендую посетить.
