No comments · Posted by Sergei Rzhevsky in Architecture, Regions, Travel
Church of the Transfiguration (Spaso-Preobrazhenska), built in 1830-1839, is located in the village of Moshny in Cherkasy Oblast of Ukraine, about 30 km from Cherkasy.
It was the key element of the non-preserved palace and park ensemble of Count Mikhail Vorontsov. The author of the project was the Italian architect Giorgio Torricelli, who was the city architect of Odesa. Moshny on Google Maps. Photos by: v1snyk.
The church was built in a style uncharacteristic for Orthodox churches, combining a romantic and neo-Gothic styles. The height of the bell tower is 44 meters. There is a legend that Giorgio Torricelli built an exact copy of this church in France, near Paris.
