The Church of the Vernicle Image of the Saviour (Russian: Церковь Спаса Нерукотворного Образа) is an Orthodox church in Krasnogorskoye village, Sverdlovsk oblast.[1] 'Vernicle' refers to Saint Veronica.
The building was granted the status of regional significance on 31 December 1987 (decision No. 535 by the executive committee of Sverdlovsk oblast Council of People's Deputies).[2] The object number of cultural heritage of regional significance is 661410163420005.
The construction of the building began on 31 May 1802 on the right bank of the river Tura in the northern part of the village. The right side-chapel was consecrated in the name of The Great Martyr Saint Catherine on 8 February 1804. The main church was consecrated in honor of the Vernicle Image of the Saviour on 4 July 1810. The attached left side-chapel was consecrated in the name of Saint Nicholas on 28 October 1875. In 1903 the Spassky stone chapel was built on the 100th anniversary of the church.[3]
Since 1932 the church building has been closed. Afterwards, it functioned variously as a warehouse, shop, and gymnasium. In 1992 the church was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church. Since 1991 the church has been in the process of restoration.[3]
The Church was built from 1802 to 1810 with architectural elements of classicism and "Siberian Baroque".[3]
