Belfry of St. Sophia Cathedral

Church of the Intercession of the Holy Virgin

The Church of the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos adjoins the Pokrovskaya Tower, the first chronicle mention refers to the church in 1305, and since that time it was rebuilt several times.

The church belongs to the type of "octagon on a quadrangle" and is one of the few churches of this type, preserved in Novgorod.

The Kokuy Tower (Kukui, Kalancha, Kalanchovskaya) is a quadrangular deaf (impassable) tower in the southwestern part of the Novgorod Detinets, built on the principle of “two octagon over fours”. The tower is crowned with a silvered dome with a prapor of the Novgorod principality, above it a crown and a flower.

Strongly damaged during the war, the tower was restored in the 1960s in the guise of the XVII century.

Ali is different - Pokrova in the corner (because it is located in the southern corner of the Okolniy town near the Pokrovskaya tower). And Prolom is the site of the collapse of the fortress wall during the siege of Pskov by Stefan Batory, which is why such names are. Amazing small church of the XV — XVI centuries, miraculously preserved to this day. These are two united by a common wall of the church, because such a somewhat strange appearance.
