Pokrovan kirkon kellotorni - Lappeenranta, Finland - Bell Towers on Waymarking.com

[FIN] Jumalansynnyttäjän suojeluksen kirkko eli Pokrovan kirkko on Lappeenrannassa Linnoituksen kaupunginosassa sijaitseva ortodoksinen kirkko. Se valmistui 1785, ja se on Suomen vanhin edelleen toiminnassa oleva ortodoksikirkko.

Kirkon kellotorni sijaitsee sen pääoven kohdalla. Vuonna 2016 kirkko sai lahjoituksena uuden kirkonkellon. Pronssisen kellon on valanut kaavilainen Juutilan valimo. Uusi kello painaa 180 kilogrammaa. Se on kirkon tornin seitsemäs ehjä kello. Kellon sävelkorkeus on pikku-E.

Kelloja tässä kellotornissa on siis seitsemän kappaletta. Niistä ei kaikki ole näkyvissä ulospäin. Tornin etuosassa on ikoni hyvin näkyvällä paikalla.
