Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord - in the village of Krasnoye, Staritsky District, Tver Region, Russia.
In the second half of the 18th century, M.F. Poltoratsky became the owner of the estate in the village of Krasnoye, Staritsky district, who decided to replace the old wooden church with a new one, copied from the famous Chesme church, built in 1777-1780 by order of Catherine II by architect Yu. M. Felten near Petersburg.
His first petition “to build a stone church with his own kosht” dates back to 1783. After a second petition, Bishop Ioasaph Zabolotsky signed the charter of the church on July 30, 1785.
The construction of the temple was carried out under the care and dependency of his wife for five years, and was completed in 1790.
Built in a pseudo-Gothic style, it is an almost exact copy of the Chesme Church in St. Petersburg, built 10 years earlier.
The height of the structure is 24 meters, length and width - about 20 meters.
In 1931, the Soviet authorities closed the temple. The bells were sent for melting down, the stone fence was dismantled and transported to Staritsa, to the city garden. The interior of the church was used for the needs of the local collective farm, destroyed and dilapidated.
In 1997, the restoration of the temple began.

Церковь Преображения Господня — в селе Красном Старицкого района Тверской области России. 
Во второй половины XVIII века владельцем усадьбы в селе Красное Старицкого уезда стал М. Ф. Полторацкий, который решил взамен старой деревянной церкви построить новую, скопированную со знаменитой Чесменской церкви, сооружённой в 1777—1780 годах по повелению Екатерины II архитектором Ю. М. Фельтеном близ Петербурга. 
Первое его ходатайство «построить каменную церковь собственным коштом» относится к 1783 году. После повторного прошения епископ Иоасаф Заболотский 30 июля 1785 года подписал храмоздательную грамоту.
Строительство храма осуществлялось попечением и иждивением его супруги на протяжении пяти лет, и было закончено в 1790 году.
Построен в псевдоготическом стиле, является почти точной копией Чесменской церкви в Санкт-Петербурге, построенной на 10 лет раньше.
Высота сооружения составляет 24 метра, длина и ширина — около 20 м.
В 1931 году советские власти закрыли храм. Колокола были отправлены на переплавку, каменная ограда разобрана, перевезена в Старицу, в городской сад. Внутреннее помещение церкви использовалось для нужд местного колхоза, разрушалось и ветшало.
В 1997 году началось восстановление храма.
