Church of the Intercession (Kamensk-Shakhtinsky)

The Church of the Intercession in Kamensk-Shakhtinsky city was laid on October 14, 1991, on the day of the feast of Intercession of the Holy Virgin. Yet its construction works began only five years after, in 1996 and were conducted on donations made by city residents. It was built on the project of architect G. D. Starykh.^[1][2][a] The church bell-tower has six bells ― five bells are placed in a small belfry, and the main bell that weighs 350 kg and is about a meter in diameter. All of them were cast in Voronezh.^[1]
