Pokrovshye Old Greek Orthodox Church 1934

This one had been on my list for some time because it is so unique. My list is really informal. So informal I do not have it written down. I have a folder on my computer where I keep random road trip notes.

I did not find much information on this church. The church is a few miles from Hines Creek, Alberta so it was quite a distance for me to drive there. It was open and when I walked inside I am not sure it is still being used. It looked like someone was using it to paint icons. 






A number of icons on the wall. I like their work.


I quite liked this one.


I have to feed my habit of interesting window shots.

  1. Such an impressive-looking church - almost with a hint of a one-room schoolhouse look as well. Interesting that it was open and the icons were there - you'd think the painter might be concerned about theft.

  2. I was there myself a week ago. It's a very unusual church and extraordinarily beautiful. I couldn't go inside as it was locked but the old church was still awesome to see and photograph.
