Znamenskaya Church, or the Church of the Theotokos of the Sign is a Russian Orthodox church in Dubrovitsy, Moscox Oblast, Russia. In 1690, a Russian socialite named Boris Alexeyevich Golitsyn who also owned the Dubrovitsy Estate, began constructing a stone church in Baroque tradition. The design choice was unusual for the period as it was unlike the architecture of traditional Russian churches. Nonetheless, the church’s architect did not completely ignore the local traditions. Thus, the architect pioneered a style blending Western and Russian traditions in church architecture.
