Two churches of Leningrad region became nominees of the 9th season of the Golden Trezzini award

Two restored churches of the Leningrad region were nominated for the international architectural and design award "Golden Trezzini", Governor Alexander Drozdenko said in his MAKS-channel. These are the St. Nicholas Church in the village of Storozhno of the Volkhov district and the Church of St. George in Old Ladoga.

St. Nicholas Church built in 1595 is all that has survived to this day from the once grandiose ensemble of the Nikolo-Storozhensky monastery on the shore of Ladoga. It is presented in the nomination “The best Russian implemented project for the restoration of a religious building”. Its full restoration was completed in 2026.

In the same nomination, the white-stone church of St. George of the XII century in Old Ladoga is presented. It is one of the oldest temples in Russia. In 2024-2025, the facades and roof were restored, the cross, the masonry of the walls, windows and doors were restored. The restoration helped to preserve the unique pre-Mongol frescoes inside the temple.
