Church of Cosmas and Damian

Church of Cosmas and Damian

The Church of St. Cosmas and Damian on Kholop Street (Russian: Церковь святых Кузьмы и Демьяна на Холопьей улице), was a church in medieval Novgorod the Great located in the Nerev End, just north of the Detinets. It was a wooden church first built by Fedor Khotovich in 1271.[1] It was rebuilt in 1303, probably after a fire in the Nerev End.[2] and about a generation later was the parish church of Archbishop Vasilii Kalika prior to his election as archbishop of Novgorod in 1330 (he was known as Grigorii Kalika before taking monastic vows).[3] Vasilii's parish church in Kholop Street was rebuilt in 1350 by the Posadnik (mayor) Iurii Ivanovich [4] That church apparently burned in 1352, the year Archbishop Vasilii died of the plague. It is unclear if a new church was ever built on the site; there is no longer a church at that location, which is now a park north of the Novgorod Kremlin.
