Bell Tower and Church of All Saints
🕍 Place of worship
Point 19
🕍 Place of worship
Next to the cathedral stands the bell tower, with the All Saints iconostasis on its lowest tier. Including the cross, it is 62.7 meters (206 ft) tall. A clock was installed on the bell tower in the 17th century. Sadly, in 1941 everything but the first tier was destroyed. You can climb to the top of the bell tower to see the monastery from above.
The lower part was modeled on the campanile of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. The Church of All Saints has a unique iconostasis featuring horns of plenty. The ripe fruit symbolizes the endless blessings awaiting the faithful in the Kingdom of Heaven.
