Tree-Lined Alley Walk to the Church

Impressive view on the cobblestone walk way between the lines of deciduous tall trees in Arkhangelskoye Estate to the beautiful church of Archangel Michael (1667) that showing off in the distance. The first wooden temple dedicated to Archangel Michael was appeared at this site in 16th century and gave the name to the local village that became later the Russian Versailles. The nice cute church was put up from stone in Arkhangelskoe in the 1660s by order of J. Odoevsky when this famous estate was belonged to the prince.
