The temple complex in the village of Tavrovo.

 

The plot for the projected temple complex is located on the southern outskirts of Belgorod, in the village of Tavrovo and is surrounded by private low-rise buildings. The main feature of the site is the presence of an ancient burial mound within its borders, which is under state protection. It is possible to build in its place only after excavation and research, for which the passage currently has no funds. For this reason, buildings and landscaping are not provided in its place.

There is a small temple-chapel on the site. According to the assignment, it was necessary to make a project of the main church, all office and parish buildings and landscaping.

The prototype of the project of the main temple in honor of the Peschanskaya Icon of the Mother of God in the village of Tavrovo was the ancient churches of Pskov: severe, simple in form and decoration, they also serve as an excellent example of planting a building in the surrounding natural landscape.The central core of the temple is a cubic, pillarless, single-domed quadrangle with a large porch, above which there are choirs, rooms for priests, a Sunday school room and a small storeroom. The main temple on the north side is complemented by a side chapel and a belfry, from which access to the roof is possible. For the convenience of access for people with limited mobility, the floor of the church is made on the same level with the ground.
