Успенская церковь (Кондопога)

Dormition Church of Kondopoga (Russian: Це́рковь Успе́ния Пресвято́й Богоро́дицы) was a Russian Orthodox Church in the town of Kondopoga, Kondopozhsky District of the Republic of Karelia. The church was located in the historic part of the town, in the former village of Kondopoga, on the shores of La

ke Onega, in Kondopozhskaya Bay on a promontory jutting into Chupa Bay. At 42 meters, the church was the tallest wooden structure in Karelia. The height of the tent and log towers, two octagons and the quadrangle, and the quadrangular height and width are in the ratio of about 1:2. The Dormition Church was a monument of the Russian wooden architecture; it was a cultural heritage site of federal significance, part of the Zaonezhskaya branch of the Kondoparchozhsky City Museum. During the holidays of the Eastern Orthodox Church, services were held, mostly in the summer. Regular services were instead held in the separate Church of the Meeting of the Lord (Candlemas), which had been rebuilt by a local architect employed at the transformer station. The Dormition Church was totally destroyed by fire on 10 August 2018. It had been one of the most important landmarks of Kondopoga.
