History
In the 18th and early 19th centuries, the parish was Uniate and joined Orthodoxy in 1839. In the 1860s, a new wooden Pokrovskaya Church was built with state funds on the site of the old, dilapidated one. In 1962, the church was closed and used as a grain storage, which led to its decay. In the late 1980s, local residents restored the church, and in 1989 it was consecrated again.
Architecture
Pokrovskaya Church is a three-part wooden structure with a hipped roof over the main volume and gabled roofs over the altar and vestibule. A three-tiered tented bell tower is attached to the building. The exterior features rich decorative elements in the Russian style.
Cultural and Religious Significance
Throughout its history, Pokrovskaya Church has served as a spiritual center for the residents of Radostovo and neighboring villages. After its restoration in the late 1980s, the church once again became an active place of worship.
