On October 3, the State Institute of Art Studies will host a presentation of the illustrated catalog “Monuments of Church Architecture in the Arkhangelsk Region from the 16th to the Early 20th Centuries: The City of Kargopol and the Kargopol District.”
On the eve of the revolution, there were more than 100 churches, over 250 chapels, and four monasteries here. Most of them have now been lost. To date, there has not been a single scientific study covering all monuments of church architecture in the Kargopol District, including those that have been lost.
