Object description
The main facade is depicted, probably a sketch of the church. It is a brick single-nave church with a transept, one-domed, asymmetrical. Its intricate design combines Art Deco, Renaissance, and Baroque influences. A tall dome with many creases rises above the crossing, similar to the wooden churches of the Naddniprianshchyna (territory on either side of the middle course of the Dnipro River). An atypical element in this church is a wall bell tower placed on the western wall of the babynets. Access to it is through an open staircase; on the second tier, the staircase is inside a tower covered with a spire.
