The Church of Moscow Metropolitan Alexius (Шаблон:Lang-ru) ― is a Russian Orthodox church in Bessergenevskaya stanitsa, Oktyabrsky District, Rostov Oblast, Russia.[1] It belongs to Nizhnedonsky Deanery of Shakhty and Millerovo Diocese and is also recognized as an object of cultural heritage of Russian Federation.[2]

History

The first mention of the Church of Alexius, Metropolitan of Moscow in Bessergenevskaya village dates back to 1647. In 1797, due to dilapidation of the old church, a new, wooden one with a bell tower was built. The latter was consecrated in 1800 also in the name of Metropolitan Alexius. In 1810 the stanitsa moved to a new place. The temple was also transferred. In 1858, it was moved again, this time to Kazachy-Kadamovsky khutor.[3]

In 1882, instead of the wooden church, a stone church was erected. The old church was later moved to Yagodinka village.[4] This new stone church has had two chapels: the first one was consecrated in the name of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God and the second one - in the name of Three Saints.[3]

In 1920s, the church was closed and a forage warehouse was established inside. In 1957, a bolt of lightning struck inside the bell-tower and damaged its walls.[3]

In 1992, on decree issued by Rostov Oblast administration, the church building was recognized as an object of the cultural heritage of Russia.[2]

Nowadays the church is open again.[5]
