Ensemble of the Churches of the Annunciation and of the rchangel Michael
In the southern part of the Market Sideyard, on the way to
Slavno, two churches form a small yet beautiful ensemble. One of
them, that of the Archangel Michael, retains the lower parts of
the walls of 1300. The second, that of the Annunciation, took its
final shape in the 16th century. Both feature two-storeyed
galleries, quite uncommon to Novgorodian architecture. The
gallery of the Church of the Annunciation adjoins it at a right
angle, not on three sides, as is usually the case. The bell-tower
linking the churches was raised at the end of the 17th century.
