Description
Summary:The article deals with one of many regional architectural traditions of Russia. Seven churches were built in Kargopol in this period. The author argues that they follow the previous local architectural trends and two of them are of special architectural interest. Trinity church in Troitsa (1744), which is a transformed variant of Solovki monastery church and St. John Baptist Nativity church in Kargopol (1751), notable for a rare two-pillar construction and a unique ''cask''-vaulted altar. All the churches under consideration have a peculiar style, characterized by conservatism and occasional use of features typical of wooden buildings. The author concludes that the Kargopol architecture remains the most conservative of the mid-18th century regional schools in Russia.
