The church of Myrrh-bearing women


The church of Myrrh-bearing women was built in 1714 - 1722. The ground floor has not any decoration because of old tradition. This floor usually is used for keeping different things and products. The second floor is decorated in Moscow bacoque style, which you  not very often see in Ustjug. This church has the fine porch which is usual for architecture of XVII century. The decoration of this church combines old and new features.

Now in the church of Myrrh-bearing women you can see very interesting exposition of New Year toys.
