Dubrovitsy Church



Today we caught a bus to the outskirts of town to visit the Dubrovitsy Church set on a hill on a bank where two rivers meet. It is very old  built in the late 1600's of and its foundations are slowly being restored.
18 Century Manor House nearby


Who's the headless statue?
Gathering clouds
Restoration in progress. Crumbling foundations.
Bells
Details of the carved white stone
Saint peter found a church!



Let's go and find out what's on the hill?
We think it must be the secret of wedded bliss. Tie the knot and lock it in. Couple must come here on their wedding day.
Pasha & Lena did.
Shall we do it too?
Ops this one mustn't have lasted!

For an interesting experience have a look at this link for an interactive view of the interior of the church.
