Three-Anastasievsky Cathedral

Trekhanastievskaya church
Ukraine, Hlukhiv
The architectural monument of the end of the 19th century is the largest dominant of the historical center of the former hetman's capital and is distinguished by splendor and sophistication. It is visible for many kilometers from Glukhov.

A large cubic volume with high arched windows is closely lined with five domes on top. The central drum is light, multi-windowed. The corner ones, repeating the architecture of the central one, have through belfries. Under the whole church there is a low lower floor, covered with a system of cross vaults - a small winter temple.

The church was built according to the design of the St. Petersburg academician of architecture Andrei Gun (1841-1920) in the Russian-Byzantine style - this is how the first Christian churches were built. Near the big church, not so long ago, there was a “small Anastasia”, built in 1717 at the expense of Hetman Anastasia Markovna Skoropadskaya on the site of the burnt wooden Church of the Resurrection.

Trekhanastievskaya Church resembles the Vladimir Cathedral in Kyiv. The church is filled with light, the walls are painted under the guidance of artists - brothers Alexander and Pavel Svedomsky.
The pre-altar partition made of gray polished marble, designed by the famous Kiev icon painter Alexander Murashko, who was born in Glukhov, is impressive.

The Glukhov church was built with the money of well-known sugar producers and patrons Tereshchenko and consecrated in honor of the three holy martyrs Anastasia - the heavenly patronesses of Anastasia Tereshchenko, the wife of a sugar magnate. The temple is also the ancestral tomb of this family. The founder of the dynasty Artem Yakovlevich Tereshchenko (1877), his wife Efrosinia Grigoryevna and their sons Fedor (1894) and Nikolai (1903) are buried in the church.

The most damage to the church was caused by German planes in 1941-1943 - the central dome was destroyed. After the war, it was rebuilt in a somewhat reduced form - the primary ellipsoidal dome was replaced with a flattened spherical one.

The five-story brick church (1893) stands in the historic center of the city, occupying an island position in the middle of the quarter, where in the first half of the eighteenth century. was the hetman's residence. It is the most massive architectural dominant. Located on the territory of the National Reserve "Deaf". This is the only church in Ukraine with such a name. The building is cubic, three-nave, four-column, cross-domed, with three semicircular inside and faceted apses on the outside. Under the whole church there is a basement covered with a system of cross vaults.
