One of the outstanding monuments of Novgorod architecture is the Church of Theodore on the Creek, which was built in 1360 - 1361 years Posadnik Semyon Andreyevich. The name of the church is preserved the memory of the 20th century, it is poured into the creek on the shore and the church was built.

To understand how the temple looked like in the XIV century, to mentally remove the bell tower and the refectory, which appeared only in the XVII century. Cubic, one-domed church Fedorov became the model for a long time Novgorod architects, as the first of its facades decorated with small arches, arched windows, niches (some were painted with frescoes).

The temple is a place worthy of attention - a ladder in the wall leading to the choir. They found many inscriptions (original ancient graffiti), in particular the exercise in writing the alphabet (for example, five times repeated the phrase "go beaver near the river"). Probably the church was taught to read and write the future deacons. Since the church was erected on private funds, the southern facade was arranged family tomb, and in the choir - aisle of Simeon, patron saint patron-mayor.
