634 RU - Church of the Ascension, Kolomenskoye (1994)

Brief Description

"The Church of the Ascension was built in 1532 on the imperial estate of Kolomenskoye, near Moscow, to celebrate the birth of the prince who was to become Tsar Ivan IV ('the Terrible'). One of the earliest examples of a traditional wooden tent-roofed church on a stone and brick substructure, it had a great influence on the development of Russian ecclesiastical architecture."

科罗缅斯克的耶稣升天教堂
"1532年,为庆祝一位王子(后来他成为伊万四世沙皇)的诞生,在莫斯科附近的科罗缅斯克皇家地产上修建了这座耶稣升天教堂。这是最早修建的下部是砖石结构上面是木屋顶的传统教堂之一,对俄国教会建筑风格的发展产生了极大影响。"
