The St. Trinity Red Church in the village of Borovitsa is 6 km away from the town of Belogradchik, Northwestern Bulgaria. It is a genuine spiritual wonder, argues Archimandrite Antim, coadjutor of the Vidin Bishopric and Father Superior of the monastery reemerging around the church. The one-nave church was built in 1866 over the foundations of an older church. The place was not chosen by accident – it is located at the foot of the natural phenomenon of Borov Stone – a huge red rock that has lent its name to the village. Icons and frescoes in the church have been painted by Russian artists. The vicinity of the church is dotted with a few votive crosses, two grottos, a Celtic shrine and a Roman stronghold. The Red Church is part of the tourist route made by the Municipality of Belogradchik but it is accessible via a dirt road.
