Molochkovo in Novgorod Oblast has religious buildings and traditions associated with a spring. For a holiday home, the actual address must be checked against the village and the destinations you want to visit; local facts do not confirm that any specific rental is available.

Church and Spring

  • The Church of the Dormition, together with its enclosure, is located in Molochkovo and dates from the 19th century.
  • A chapel above a well in Molochkovo is mentioned as early as 16th-century chronicles.
  • The chapel dedicated to the Righteous Warrior Fyodor Ushakov stands by an old spring near the church in Molochkovo.
  • The chapel dedicated to the Righteous Warrior Fyodor Ushakov, by an old spring near the church in Molochkovo, was built in 2002 within a few months by members of the Soltsy garrison and residents of nearby settlements.
  • After the earlier building quickly fell into disrepair, a chapel was built in Molochkovo in 2014; it was still standing at the time of the source.

Historical Uses

  • Before the Revolution, religious processions to the chapel in Molochkovo took place on the feasts of the Dormition and the Ascension of Christ.
  • Until the 1920s, fairs were held in Molochkovo for the feast of the Ascension of Christ.
  • On the feast of the Baptism of Christ, local residents immerse themselves in the spring water in Molochkovo.

Choose Suitable Accommodation

The processions and fairs are historical information, not a current events calendar. A custom involving the spring also does not establish that bathing facilities are available or that the water is safe to drink. Check access, opening times and the terms of a specific holiday home before travelling.
