Description
The chapel-tomb of A. N. Lyupov stands on the site of the tragic death of staff captain Alexei Nikolaevich Lyupov, who was killed on the night of September 25, 1911 on the banks of the Volga near the village of Ermakovo. The chapel was built on the initiative of his brother Semyon Nikolaevich Lyupov, who set himself the task of consecrating the place of death and erecting a chapel and cross on his grave.
The chapel itself is carved out of limestone and has four turrets decorated with metal carved cornices. The height of the cross installed on the chapel is 7 meters. The village of Ermakovo, where the chapel is located, is located on the high bank of the Volga, and its name is probably associated with the name of the Cossack ataman Ermak Timofeevich, although there is no reliable historical data confirming this connection.
Going back to the history of Alexei Nikolaevich Lyupov, we can say that he was a participant in the Russian-Japanese War of 1904-1905, where he proved himself to be a brave and selfless warrior, participating in the defense of Port Arthur. Once captured by the Japanese, Lyupov refused parole in exchange for a promise to never fight against Japan again and spent a whole year in prison, developing tuberculosis. After returning to Russia, he took up science and invention, registering fifteen patents in various fields in three years.
The tragic death of Lyupov and the subsequent erection of a chapel and a cross on his grave testify to his brotherly love and memory of the heroic feat of the Russian officer. The chapel, although it requires restoration, remains a symbol of respect and memory for Alexei Nikolaevich Lyupov and his brother, who built this monument to his hero brother.
