The Church of Our Saviour-in-Kovaliovo
The Church of Our Saviour-in-Kovaliovo was built in 1345 and
frescoed in 1363 by an anonymous predecessor of Theophanes the
Greek. The church and its murals were destroyed by during the
war. After the Second World War the Kovaliovo Church was
resurrected from the ruins to the design of Leonid
Krasnorechayev. Thanks to the tremendous efforts of the restorers
Alexander and Valentina Grekov ä who reassembled several
compositions from an infinite number of tiny fragments ä the
original frescoes of 1380, which seemed to be irretrievably lost,
have been partly restored. Work on the restoration continues.
