Dima at the Prokhorov Chapel-Shrine

The Prokhorov Chapel-Shrine at the Novodevichy Convent (1911) honors industrialist Ivan Prokhorov and his family. Designed in the Neo-Russian style, it features red brick, ornate carvings, and a tented roof. Located near the convent’s necropolis, it serves as a memorial to the Prokhorov family, known for philanthropy. The chapel is an architectural gem, reflecting early 20th c. Russian revival trends.
