Traveling to unfamiliar places is always pleasant emotions. Especially if before the trip the traveler had the opportunity to take an interest in local attractions and the history of the region. The village of Romanovskaya (Rostov Region) is a very interesting place where history is closely intertwined with today.
A bit of history
The village of Romanovskaya (Rostov Region) was founded in 1613. The village was named in honor of M.F. Romanov, who had ascended the throne at that time. This fact is even evidenced by the entry in the local newspaper of October 1, 1912.
The village began its education with the small Cossack town of Romanovsky. Initially, the town was founded on the right bank of the Don. But people were forced to move over the course of two centuries from one bank to another and vice versa, the reason for this was a constant change in the river bed.
Since 1840, the inhabitants of the village finally settled on the left bank of the river. By the beginning of the 20th century, there were 676 courtyards in the village, a church was opened, as well as a parish school and a parish school.
Church of St. Michael the Archangel
The village of Romanovskaya (Rostov Region) is known for its church of St. Archangel Michael. Its history has about four centuries. After the next resettlement of the village, connected with the change of the riverbed, in 1846 the Stuchilin brothers built a wooden church, for it the iconostasis was specially ordered and brought from St. Petersburg.
In the life of the parishioners, it was of great importance. It should only be noted that in the territory of the Temple of St. Archangel Michael had a parish school, and then a library was opened for the local population.
