Residents of Derbisek say that once they wanted to demolish the temple, they drove a tractor to the place. The crosses on the domes squinted, when the wind blows, the low sound of creaking metal chains is heard here. But the technique did not cope - the walls turned out to be strong and did not succumb to destruction. The façade is well preserved, the walls survived, the rich brick décor makes it elegant  with  whimsical complex silhouette of three-domed bell tower. References
