Nizhny Novgorod, Russia · built 1683

The Church of St. John the Baptist is one of the oldest Orthodox churches in Nizhny Novgorod, mentioned from the 15th century. The stone church was consecrated in 1683, again on November 4, 2005. The nearest Ivanovskaya tower of the Kremlin was named after this temple. The church is located on the National Unity Square, Rozhdestvenskaya Street. In the Time of Troubles (in 1612), Kuzma Minin appealed to the citizens of Nizhny Novgorod to liberate Moscow from the Polish intervention from the church porch. At that time, the church was still wooden.
