Angel of Kuskovo


This angel crowns the Church of the Merciful Saviour (built in 1737—1739), the domestic church at Kuskovo, the estate of the Sheremetev family. The current sculpture, mounted on the top of the church cupola, is an aluminum replica of the original figure casted and installed in 1983.
