Reconstruction of the appearance of the Trinity Cathedral of the Serpukhov Kremlin based on the analysis of the temples of the local architectural school
The article deals with the issue of establishing the initial completion of the Trinity Cathedral in Serpukhov based on similar temples of the local architectural school. The Trinity Cathedral served as a model for the formation of general trends in local temple architecture in the city and its surroundings, but its original image was changing by subsequent restructuring of the 18th-19th centuries. According to the buildings erected by local builders, one can assume a variant of the appearance of the Trinity Cathedral after the reconstruction in 1696. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the use of the five-domed Trinity Cathedral does not find confirmation in the practice of construction and decorative techniques of the local architectural school. This allows us to confirm the previously put forward hypothesis that the prototype of the rebuilding of the Trinity Cathedral in 1696 was the temple of the Andronikov Monastery in Moscow.
