SDIM6656 Remnant of the Church of Saint Nicholas in Likhachev (Церковь Николая Чудотворца в Лихачево). 1881-88. North view.

3.5 km west of village Pagubino, Volokolamsk Raion, Moscow Oblast, Russia

 

 

The settlement Likhachev no longer exists.

 

Closed in 1930s, and subsequently all but destroyed. The lack of debris suggests that the church building may have been cannibalized for its building materials.

 

Interestingly, this church has its own ru wikipedia page: ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Церковь_Николая_Чу
