New Russian Baroque

New Russian Baroque is an architectural style that emerged in Russia around the late 19th and early 20th centuries, inspired by the elaborate and decorative Baroque of 17th-18th century Europe. It combines traditional ornate details with modern construction techniques, creating grand, richly decorated buildings that emphasize bold, intricate designs. This style reflects Russia’s national pride and desire to connect contemporary architecture with its historical cultural identity, often seen in churches, government buildings, and cultural institutions. It’s characterized by elaborate facades, decorative elements, and a sense of monumentality, blending historic grandeur with modern sensibilities.
