The wooden Annunciation Church (this church, as you understand, is directly connected with the holiday) has a dramatic history. At first it was erected in the very center of the city - on the site of the current cathedral.

The temple first came under heavy fire at the height of hostilities in 2014. Burnt almost to the ground. However, the abbot continued to hold services even among the charred logs and ashes; fortunately, the basement that served as a refectory survived.
