- History:
- The Church of the Savior Not Made by Hands of the village of Spasskoye is a stone church built in 1825 at the expense of the landowner Lepekhin. She had three thrones: the main one - the Savior Not Made by Hands, the side-chapels - the Protection of the Mother of God and St. Peter. The church housed an icon of the Smolensk Mother of God, acquired by the Lepekhins in a Moscow house that burned down during the occupation of Moscow by the French during the Patriotic War of 1812. During the Soviet period, the temple was badly damaged: the bell tower and white-stone porticos were destroyed. In its original form, the temple today can only be seen in the paintings of the 19th century artist G.V. Magpies "View of the Spasskoye estate in the Tambov province" and "In the Spasskoye estate in the Tambov province". In 1995, the villagers cleared the church and the surrounding area from debris, and the revival of the church began.
