Church of the Intercession (Pogost)

Pogost in Furmanovsky district is typical Ivanovo back-country with fields and a churchyard cemetery. The landmark is a stone church built in 1820 replacing earlier wooden structures. The building follows early-19th-century Russian classicism: a four-pier cube, bell tower, restrained façades. Regional records note altars and parish outbuildings; the church was substantial for a village. Access via regional roads from Furmanov; the last kilometres may be dirt. GPS is not always precise — use coordinates 57.218056, 41.24 and the cemetery by the walls. Pogost suits a Furmanovsky district route without tourist infrastructure: bring water, avoid collapsing vaults, and respect local residents.
