The Church of St. George in Sittcy, built in 1913 from stone, is a splendid example of retrospective Russian style.
About the Church
The exterior appearance and architectural composition of St. George Church, including the onion domes above the hip-shaped bell tower and the main volume, make it a typical representative of the retrospective Russian style. The church belongs to the type of cross-domed churches with a bell tower and is not plastered inside, giving it a special character. Kokoshniks and arch window dressings are used in the church's decor, adding elegance to its appearance.
Among the benefactors of the construction of this church were the Emperor Nicholas II and the Archpriest John of Kronstadt, which adds even greater sanctity and significance to it.
St. George Church in Sittcy is not just a place of prayer gathering. Visiting this church will be an exciting journey into the past.
