Rakitnoye, Belgorod Oblast Russia
Russian Orthodox
Prince Boris Yusupov built the church in 1832. After numerous attempts, it was finally closed in 1934. During the German occupation, it was opened temporarily. The district diced to close the church again in 1961, but through the efforts of Archpriest Dimitry Tyapochkin, this did not happen. An orphanage was built adjacent to the church in 2005. The church is an architectural monument.
