IMG_9452 The Church of Transfiguration of the Lord in Krasnoye (1790)
Village Krasnoye, Staritsa Raion, Tver Oblast, Russia
Manor owner Mark Fyodorovich Poltoratsky built this neo-gothic church. The church is essentially a copy of the 1780 Chesme Church near Saint Petersburg. The Krasnoye church was closed, gutted, and repurposed in the 1930s. Restoration started in 1979. Returned to the Russian Orthodox Church in 1999 (uncertain).
The ruins of the Poltoratsky manor house and the overgrown manor house park are nearby.
