What to Expect and Is It Worth Visiting
The Church of the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary or the Intercession Church in Simeiz is located on a hill and is visible from almost every point of the village. It is one of the viewing points of Simeiz, from where the view of the village itself and the coast extends.
The construction of the church was lengthy: it was started in 1998, the first service was held in June 2008, but even after that its design continued. In 2010, the construction was completed with the consecration of the belfry and bells.
The interior is decorated with beautiful paintings of the lives of saints on the walls and ceiling. Genuine delight is caused by a low oak iconostasis with icons. The territory around the temple is carefully monitored by the staff.
The "highlight" of the temple is the ark donated in 2013 with the relics of the forty saints of the Kiev Caves. The Church of the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos is very conveniently located (off the side of the road), neither passing by, nor passing will not work. If you're around, it's definitely worth going into it.
