Заброшенная деревня ЩЕПОТЬЕВО, Пензенская область

Today we'll visit an abandoned village, once a large one. It was founded by Ivan Shchepotyev in 1710. Thirty-six years later, a small wooden church with a single altar was built. In 1852, with funds from landowner Alexandra Dmitrievna Bogdanova, a new three-altar church dedicated to the Life-Giving Trinity was built and consecrated in two architectural styles: Eclectic and Russo-Byzantine. The village's population in 1864 was 260, and the parish also included residents from neighboring villages, of which no trace remains. Currently, the village is completely deserted.
