Where can I find the largest tiled architrave in Russia in Yaroslavl?

The temple was built in 1649-1654 and also includes the winter church of the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God, a high bell tower and a fence with a Holy Gate overlooking the Volga. In 1992, this complex was transferred to the Russian Orthodox Old Believer Church.

A magnificent five-tiered carved iconostasis has been preserved inside the temple, and the ceiling and walls are decorated with bright frescoes. The windows sparkle with stained glass, creating a special atmosphere. 

But the main "highlight" of this place is not inside, but outside: a huge tiled architrave 8 meters high and 5 meters wide, shaped like a cocoanut.

An interesting fact: the tiles for the architrave began to be prepared even before the construction of the church itself! But here's a little secret — when the craftsmen laid out the trim, they found that two symmetrical pieces were missing on the left and right. To remedy the situation, they took a tile with a unicorn that matched the color, broke it in half and inserted it into the missing places. This little "jamb" of the 17th century was discovered quite recently.
