The prettiest building in the grounds is Saviour Church ‘Not Made by Hand’(Tserkov Spasa Nerukotvorny). The structure epitomises Mamontov’s intentions: it’s a carefully researched homage by half-a-dozen artists to 14th-century Novgorod architecture. The iconostasis is by Repin and Vasily Polenov. The tiled stove in the corner, still working, is exquisite.Closed for rennovation at the time of research.
