Built in 1910 in Serpukhov, Moscow Oblast, the Church of the Protection of the Theotokos stands as a regional cultural heritage site representing Russian Revival architecture. Originally constructed as an Old Believer church—serving the schismatic Orthodox community that rejected the liturgical reforms of the 17th century—the building exemplifies the architectural tastes of early 20th-century Russia. Today it functions as a museum and architectural landmark, preserving both the spiritual heritage of Old Believer tradition and the distinctive aesthetic vocabulary of the Russian Revival style that characterized its era.
