Fedorovskaya Church, located in the territory of the Epiphany Monastery, is known in the town by mysterious paintings in the blue palette. According to guides, the frescoes do not disappear over time but brighten up. The main shrine of the church is Feodorovskaya Icon of the Mother of God: the childless couples who dream of progeny pray to it.

The Most Unusual Temple of New Chersonese
It was an extraordinary idea: to construct a temple with practically no walls and no dome. The architect’s original plan was to integrate the structure seamlessly into the local landscape—and the result was a great success.
This temple-park has recently become more than just a place for prayerful solitude—it is now a must-see attraction within the New Chersonese museum complex. Its design demonstrates how a sacred space can embody harmony between humanity and nature. More than a beautiful park with unique architectural features, it is truly an open-air sanctuary (Pic 4).
The temple-park was consecrated in 2024 in honour of the Holy Trinity. Its first service also marked another important event for the Russian Orthodox Church: the day of the baptism of Kievan Prince Vladimir. Remarkably, the very river where this historic baptism took place flows through New Chersonese. This milestone in Russian history is recorded in the ancient chronicle The Tale of Bygone Years.
This place reflects the deeper mission of New Chersonese: first and foremost, it is a spiritual and scientific centre near the ancient city of Chersonese, not merely a tourist destination.

New Chersonese offers visitors plenty of remarkable sights, one of which is the “Temple Under the Sky” (Pic 1). Unlike typical sacred buildings, it has neither walls nor a dome. Instead, the architect used trees, rose bushes, and flowers to form living walls, while the sky, clouds, and stars serve as its ever-changing dome (Pic 2, 3). Visitors can hear daily chants here.
