Church of the Trinity of the Life-Giver in Perevoloka

On the Cowboy peninsula in alder thickets, the Trinity Church on Perevolok is visible. The very name of the church speaks volumes. In ancient times, there was fiber, where vessels dragged from one part of the lake to another narrow, not more than half a kilometer wide, by the isthmus, with which the peninsula is connected to the mainland. Circumventing the peninsula on oars or under sails, when the head wind blows, is not so easy, long, and sometimes dangerous. It was much easier to drag rooks from the reach of the reach. There was a wooden church built in the 17th century, but it burned down in the 1930s and parishioners were given permission to build a new, stone church from the spiritual consistory. The parish, apparently, was very poor, could not raise its own resources, so he was given a so-called "collective book" where all the donations were recorded. There were few "voluntary donors" in this remote region, and only in 1852 the new Trinity Church was consecrated. The contractor of the construction work was the Ostashkov craftsman Pavel Sergeevich Tolstyakov. In the whole district it is a different building. At a time when the traditions of strict late classics continued to live in provincial architecture, when local masters had recently turned to the heritage of the XVII century, here, in the wilderness, a temple was erected in Russian-Byzantine forms, responding to the new trends of the capital's architecture. One can only guess, like such facilities to local residents or not. Most likely, the huge arches of the portals of the Trinity Church, high above the ground, the open free space of the building with an abundance of light made an impression on the parishioners and worried their imagination. A lot of this contributed to the location of the church on the high isthmus between the two reaches of Seliger. Until now, the Trinity Church is one of the vivid examples of how a building can become akin to the landscape, to become an integral part of it, not only by fitting into it, but by organically completing the creation of nature.
