The project focuses on reviving the historical appearance of the church in the village of Poloye. While the main core of the temple survived in a ruined state, the refectory and the bell tower were completely lost. Due to the lack of precise archival records, the bell tower was designed based on a thorough study of regional analogues from the corresponding era and architectural style. The solution carefully restores the authentic silhouette of the complex, harmonious proportions, facade detailing, and traditional materials, re-establishing the church as the primary visual and spiritual landmark of the surrounding landscape.
