The church with its white wall and golden dome looks so peaceful among the trees. The sky is completely clear and blue.

Pavol Novák The white wall and the golden dome are typical of the older churches of the 18th century, right? This contrast has always impressed me.
Luke Johnson Yeah the way the sunlight hits the top of that golden dome really stands out against the white walls. The trees around it look pretty dense too.
Matthew Carter That golden dome really catches the sun.
Полина Соловьёва And this church is in which city or village? Is it open to visitors during the week and when are the services usually?
Martin Wagner Yes, the gold really shines.
Julien Martin Yes, those white walls are from limestone that was quarried nearby in the 1760s. The golden dome was added later, towards the end of the 19th century, and therefore appears slightly taller than the original building.
Kristina Dhima I really like how the dome can be seen through the trees. I would like to go see her sometime.
David Hall The white limestone they quarried locally back then holds up really well in the weather. I read the services on weekdays usually start at 8 in the morning.
