 Tbilisi Must-Visit | The Church with Ultimate Symmetry 🏰️

Tbilisi Must-Visit | The Church with Ultimate Symmetry 🏰️
Rahmah RamliRahmah Ramli
The cathedral was originally built in 1872 as a replacement for an earlier church destroyed by an earthquake. During the Soviet era, the cathedral was repurposed for secular use, serving as a school, gymnasium, and even a dance hall. In the 1990s, after Kyrgyzstan’s independence, it was restored to its original religious function and reopened for worship. Built entirely of wood, including its intricate framework, with no nails used in its construction. The architecture blends traditional Orthodox Christian features, such as onion domes and ornate carvings, with local influences. The cathedral is painted in soft tones, and its lush green surroundings add to its serene ambiance. The interior features beautiful icons, religious frescoes, and sacred artifacts, although many were lost during the Soviet era. Visitors are welcome but should dress modestly and behave respectfully. Women are encouraged to cover their heads when entering. While exterior photography is generally permitted, you may need permission for interior photos.

We were so fortunate to be able to visit thiss very beautiful wooden Cathedral. The woman who is the caretaker was just closing the front door when we arrived and she very kindly allowed us to go in for 20 or so minutes.I can understand why this is such a popular place with its beautifu architecture. I understand that the story of the church goes back to July, 1869, when Karakol was basically a garrison town established as an outpost on the edges of the Tsarist Russian Empire. A chapel was established in the city centre to serve the Cossacks and other troops sent here, and a small brick building on stone foundations was erected. From there we get this wonderful attraction in Karakol. We also thoroughly enjoyed just walking around the streets which surround the Cathedral.

About the church

The story of the church goes back to July, 1869, when Karakol was basically a garrison town established as an outpost on the edges of the Tsarist Russian Empire. The Karakol church, however, was destroyed in an earthquake in 1889 which caused havoc in the town and took several lives. It took six years to complete, and was finally consecrated in 1895. During the period of construction, a yurt served the congregation as a church. It has seen considerable service, not just as a church. Over the years, particularly following the Revolution in 1917, it has been used as an educational centre housing a school, ladies’ gymnasium and an institution of Higher Education; a Sports Hall; a Theater; a Dance Hall and even as a Coal Store. Then, in 1991, following the collapse of the Soviet Union and the Independence of Kyrgyzstan, the local authority once again gave the building back to the church, with the proviso that all further restorations were their responsibility.

Свято-Троицкая церковь- храм Бишкекской и Кыргызстанской епархии Русской православной церкви в городе Караколе в Киргизии. В церкви хранится чтимый список Тихвинской иконы Божией Матери. . Город Караколь был основан в 1869 году бароном А. В. Каульбарсом. В том же году из Аксуйского укрепления была перевезена временная войлочная церковь. В 1870 году войлочные стены заменены деревянными. В 1876 году взамен этой церкви построили новый храм из сырцового кирпича, освящённый архиепископом Софонией в честь Святой Троицы. В 1889 году храм был полностью разрушен вследствие Чиликского землетрясения. Современная деревянная церковь построена на месте старого семьёй купцов Масликовых по индивидуальному проекту верненских инженеров. Освящена иерейским чином 12 ноября 1895 года. В годы советской власти храм был закрыт и разграблен. Здание передали детской спортивной школе. Были разобраны четыре шатра, колокольня и два боковых крыльца, убраны кресты. В 1944 году церковь вернули православной общине согласно положению «О порядке открытия церквей». Началось постепенное восстановление храма, но в 1961 году его закрыли и вновь передали детской спортивной школе. Взамен верующим было предоставлено складское помещение неработающего хлебного завода за чертой города. Спортивная школа размещалась в здании до 1982 года, после чего оно пустовало. В 1986 году начинается восстановление первоначального облика под руководством Г. С. Ковтуна. В 1989 году принято решение об открытии в здании краеведческого музея, но оно не было реализовано из-за политической обстановки. В 1992 году православная община смогла вернуть себе храм, который к тому времени уже был ветхим и полусгнившим. Усилиями прихожан восстановление было закончено в 1995 году. Тогда же храм возвращён в собственность церкви. .

К концу XIX века деревянные храмы в российских городах уже не возводились, но поскольку почти все кирпичные храмы Семиречья к 1889 году оказались разрушенными землетрясениями, было решено строить сейсмоустойчивые деревянные храмы. В Туркестане начался новый расцвет деревянного храмового зодчества. Планы этих церквей создавались на основе крестово-купольной модели, но имели модификации, в основном вызванные невозможностью придать дереву округлую форму и плавные очертания. Храм трёхнефный с прямоугольной апсидой. Длина храма составляет 35,5 метров, ширина — 18 метров, высота стен — 5,1 метра, высота нефов — 4,2 метра. Первоначально предполагалось построить храм в виде равноконечного креста, но позднее он приобрёл прямоугольно-ломанную конфигурацию. При строительстве был использован старый квадратный в плане кирпичный цоколь. Цоколь опирается на гранитные блоки и булыжный фундамент. Храм увенчан пятью главами. Крыльцо выложено из гранитных блоков, залитых цементным раствором. С западной стороны...
