About Holy Resurrection Church (Belkofski, Alaska)

Religion, Churches, Interesting Places, Other Churches

The Holy Resurrection Church in Belkofski, Alaska is a historic Russian Orthodox church.

It is significant as "a striking example of a special type of Russian Orthodox Church architectural heritage", with a pyramidal-shaped roof over a central tower, in a design following from the 1732 design of the Church of the Resurrection on the Moskva River at Kolomenskoye, near Moscow, Russia. It is believed that there has been a church at this site since 1881; the current church may be a reconstruction.

The church's design influenced the design of the later, 1888, Russian Orthodox church at Karluk and also of the 1906 Russian Orthodox church at Ouzinkie.
