Culture and history: A unique shrine of the XVII century to be restored near Ryazan

A unique shrine of the XVII century – a two-story Church of Resurrection in the Isada village is restored near Ryazan. The Temple is called the Leaning Tower of the Ryazan region. In 2006 the landslide came close to the Temple, and the road, passing nearby, turned into a ditch of three meters deep. The Church appeared to be isolated from the village and was hardly slipped in the abyss.

Builders managed to strengthen the steep Bank of the Oka and to make it flat. An artificial platform was made of granite rubble, sand and ground, which served as a counterweight not letting it slide.
