Lipuški Old Believers' House of Prayer

The church was built in 1904. In 1893, lipuškos was the largest congregation of the Old Believers in the Baltics.

The Lipuški is located on the south bank of Lake Rāzna, where the old-believers are settled from ancient times, according to ancient Old Believers' cemeteries in the surrounding area. The current prayer of Lipuški Old Believers was built in 1904. It has suffered from robbers over the years, so there are no real icons in the rooms, but photoreproduction. By 1905, the gods could only be built so that they were not distinguished from the usual house, that is, without calls, crosses and domes. Also, Lipuški prayer house was built as a living building, but there was a rumor that there was a church service here. The local authority wished to close this house, but it failed, as the Old Believers parked a picture of the cart beside the icons, which embarrassed and prevented them from closing the house.

By 1905, the gods could only be built so that they were not distinguished from the usual house, that is, without calls, crosses and domes. The Lipušku prayer house was also built as a living tree. The prayer house has 2 towers, which initially had up to 6 small calls (1911), in the Samgin factory in Moscow. At present, only three are preserved in the tower of the church.

The gods have suffered more theft, so they lose some of their valuable heritage. The accent of indoor equipment is currently a luxurious metal headlamp supplemented by enamel and crystal pendants. The prayer of lipušku is built in the construction forms typical of the old Believers, where the men's side is strictly separated.
