Reborn from a mound overgrown with grass by the hands of ascetics of the 20th century. Admires and astonishes. Many thanks to the museum curators of all Novgorod monuments for their careful attitude to their treasures, for the reverent love that imbues their stories, for their responsiveness, goodwill, and willingness to share all their knowledge and details. Low bow!

A unique monument restored from ruins. You can come during opening hours and admire the frescoes, though restored. Now they look like mosaics. On the walls of the cathedral you can find graffiti of the 14th-15th century A magical light falls from the windows in the evening. Tickets can be paid by card. Church of the Assumption on the Volotovo field ⠀ It was erected in 1352 by Archbishop Moses on the elevated bank of the Maly Volkhovets not far from Veliky Novgorod. In 1363, the temple was decorated with wall paintings commissioned by another Archbishop of Novgorod, Alexei. ⠀ During the Swedish occupation of 1611-1617, the church was destroyed, but neither the walls nor the frescoes were damaged. In 1825, part of the building was burned during a thunderstorm. ⠀ During the Great Patriotic War, the Assumption Church was on the front line for 29 months and was completely destroyed by German artillery. The area of the lost fresco painting was about 350 m². ⠀ After the end of hostilities, 1.7 million fragments of fresco painting remained on the site of the ruins of the church, which were then conserved. ⠀ On December 14, 1992, the Church of the Assumption of the Mother of God on the Volotovo field was included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. ⠀ In August 1993, Novgorod restorers began restoration work with fragments of fresco painting. ⠀ In 2001, according to a joint German-Russian project, the restoration of the temple began.

I have written many times that the Temples do not need my assessment. But when you see a photo of the Temple destroyed during the war and how people were able to recreate the fresco from 1,700,000 pieces, it gives me chills! Low bow to you!

It works like a museum. In winter, according to the shortened schedule, until 14.00. Adult ticket 100 rubles, children free. Undoubtedly a beautiful unique old church. But still, if you have little time to visit all the churches of Novgorod, you can safely skip it, you will not lose much. Firstly, it is located far from the center and there are no other facilities nearby. Secondly, the church is small, it takes about 15 minutes to inspect. Thirdly, there are no particularly beautiful species, because the modern cemetery, overgrown with trees, is very densely retreating.
