I adore cards of churches. I find Russian church archietecture especially intriguing. I was very pleased to receive this wonderful card from Julia. It is the Church of the Intercession on the Nerl. It was built in 1165. The card says " it is a masterpiece of Vladimir-Suzdal, white stone architecture, one of the most perfect creations of the builders of Ancient Russian. This world famous church was built to commemorate Prince Andrei Bogolyubsky's victorious campaign against the Volga Bulgars.
