History
Parish in s. Maklaki Meshchovsky district of the Kaluga province has existed since the beginning of the XVIII century and was originally part of the Krutitsky (Sarsky and Podonsky) diocese .
The stone church was built instead of a decrepit wooden one in 1811-1818 at the expense of the landowner of the village of Maklaki, Prince Sergey Nikolaevich Lvov. Znamensky temple is built in the style of classicism . This is one of two preserved close replicas of the demolished Joseph Cathedral of the city of Mogilev , built by the architect N. A. Lvov . The Znamenskaya church of the village of Maklaki was built by another architect who revised the design of N. A. Lvov [1] . The church had a two-story refectory [2] and a double dome [3] .
In 1937 the temple was closed. During the Great Patriotic War, during the battles for the village of Maklaki, German soldiers used the church as a firing point [4] . After the war, the church building was used as a warehouse, including for the storage of fertilizers.
By the beginning of the XXI century, the temple is in poor condition. Columns of porticos were lost, fragments of a wooden dome with windows were preserved inside [1] .
In 2011, the construction of a cement plant began in the village of Maklaki. Investors (Association "Master") promised to restore the temple within 3 years.
