This is the first time I've seen red building material in Orthodox architecture. The period of Roman Catholic influence is not taken into account; I'm referring to modern architecture. Please tell me how this works. tina.ts
In 1879, a description of the existing church was made. “The church is a stone building, built of brick. In appearance, it presents the beautiful architectural form of an equilateral cross, with one open dome in the center, and eight smaller, blind domes on the side ledges. One of the side domes, the pediment one, also houses a bell tower, but the room is not entirely comfortable and blind, due to the smallness of the openings. The windows in the building itself are arranged in two tiers and the lower ones are equipped with iron bars; there are three entrance doors, the roof is made of sheet iron, the walls are left without plaster and have the natural appearance of brickwork, which was done with the utmost care for this. At present, the church building is in very solid condition; However, due to its intricate architecture and frequent cracks in the roof, it will require significant maintenance in the future, which, given the church's insignificant income, will be a burden for the church." Based on the research conducted, the following conclusions can be drawn: the building of the Resurrection Cathedral in Borisov was erected between 1871 and 1874 in accordance with a design developed by architect P. Merkulov, approved by the Emperor in 1868. The building's facades were to be plastered and painted with lime; i.e., according to the design, the cathedral was to be white, which would better reflect the image of an ancient Russian church. However, the building was initially unplastered, most likely due to a lack of funds. The walls and architectural decoration were subsequently painted. In the late 19th century, the decoration was painted a darker color. After the construction of the bell tower in 1907, the building's decor, as well as the decorative elements of the bell tower, were painted white. Sergey Voroshilin -),
