Conservation of the church in the village of Borovitsy (Rostov district of Yaroslavl region).
The stone church of the village of Borovitsy was erected on the site of an old wooden church in 1806, designed by architect Andrey Miserov. The church was built in the classical style and consecrated in the name of St. Ignatius the God-Bearer and St. Paraskeva Fridays. Initially, these two chapels were located in the central altar (two altars in a row). This is evidenced by the division of the altar into two parts on the facade, and traces of the two original arched openings from the altar to the quadrangle, which were replaced by three when the throne of St. Paraskeva was moved to the refectory. Written evidence of 1832 has also been preserved . from a certain Alexander Fedorov, the son of Popov, who made an iconostasis for the new chapel of St. Paraskeva in the attached warm refectory.
The most significant in this architectural monument is the bell tower. The pediments and semi-columns of the tiers, soft in outline, give the pillar-like structure a majestic solemnity. The bell tower ends with a rotundal tier of ringing, which is covered by a dome elongated in height, topped with a bulbous dome on a drum.
The temple itself also stands out from the circle of religious buildings erected in Rostov villages in the same years. The quadrangle of the Ignatiev Church consists of two tiers: a two-light volume, completed with pediments on the cardinal directions, and a deaf stylobate, on which it is customary to see a massive dome. In the temple of the village of Borovitsy, it was replaced by five elegant bulbous domes on thin deaf drums, and the side ones are placed on the corners of the quadrangle themselves.
Fragments of the original painting and a small part of the iconostasis have been preserved in the interior of the Church of Ignatius.
The temple was closed in 1962 and occupied by a warehouse. On July 31, 2021, the first Liturgy was held after its closure.
Work on the conservation of the temple began in 2021. At the moment , the following types of work are planned and partially implemented:
1. Screed of the quad with additional air connections to prevent its further destruction.
2. Strengthening of the arches of the quadrangle with a system of racks with circles.
3. Creation of a temporary roof over the altar part of the temple.
4. Preparation of temporary floors in the quadrangle of the temple.
5. Creation of a restoration vapor-permeable blind area around the temple.
6. Chetverik: Clearing of trees, "treatment" with lime mortar, construction of a temporary roof.
