Now I know a little more about this church. It is notable for 2 facts: the bell tower has a slope, for which it is called our Leaning Tower of Pisa. Go into the yard, behind the fence, and you will see confirmation of this (or look at my photo). And the second interesting fact can be seen to the right of the entrance. Namely, the place where our cultural layer is removed and the real depth of old Moscow is visible. Now there is work going on there (excavations or fortification, I don’t understand), but you can look in and see the wall and the passage, which is closed with earth and asphalt from Solyanskaya Square. If you're passing by, take a look.

A very beautiful church: as they say, eye-catching. The wooden church on this site was built at the beginning of the 14th century. According to legend, Saint Prince Dmitry Donskoy prayed in it before the battle on the Kulikovo Field. The stone temple was built at the end of the 14th century, in “memory of all those killed” during the Battle of Kulikovo in 1380. During the Time of Troubles, in 1612, it was from the walls of the Church of All Saints that the detachments of Minin and Pozharsky advanced against the Poles. In the 16th-17th centuries, a new building was built, which underwent repeated reconstruction. In 1687, a chapel and a bell tower were added. In 1931 the church was closed. At various times, the building housed a film workshop, a construction and installation department and a branch of the Mosconcert. In 1991, the temple was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church, and the interior decoration was partially restored. Since 1999, the temple belongs to the courtyard of the Alexandria Patriarchate.

Beautiful old church with the Leaning Tower of Pisa and bell tower

Church of All Saints on Kulishki is an Orthodox church on Slavyanskaya Square. The first wooden church on this site dates back to 1380, and what we see now was built in 1687-1689 in the Moscow Baroque style: a single-domed two-tier church, a refectory attached to it, and a three-tiered octagonal bell tower. The upper tier of the bell tower is deviated from the vertical by 1 degree, for which it received the name “Leaning Tower of Moscow”. During the years of Soviet power, the church was closed, in 1930 it was used by state security agencies (in the basement during excavations in 1994, the remains of those executed were discovered), in 1975 the building was transferred to the Museum of the History of Moscow. In 1991, the building was returned to the Church. The name of the temple “on Kulishki” is associated with the name of the area in which it is located. In the 14th century, this place was considered remote from the city center, and there was a meadow nearby. This meadow and the surrounding lands were called Kulishki or Kulizhki. There is a mystical legend. In 1666, evil spirits began to appear in the convent, the demon was expelled, but the demon Ignashka began to appear in all the churches in Kulishki. And, before he died, he climbed onto the bell tower, it is believed that it was because of the bell tower that it deviated.

Very cozy, homely. I would like to come here again and again. I was here on Easter Eve. Holy Easter cake, Easter and eggs with sweets.

(Translated by Google) There is a lot of information about this temple on the Internet, I will not rewrite. We've passed by many times and now decided to stop by. When we entered the churchyard, we felt such peace of mind and peace that we wanted to stay in this place for a very long time. The territory is small, so it's a pity that part of the courtyard is closed to visitors. But this does not prevent you from enjoying all the games of colors of the ancient temple. There are many ancient icons in the temple. In the store at the church, they bought kalach and a cake with nuts. Didn't expect it to be so delicious. Since I cook myself and it’s very hard to please me, but here I just enjoyed delicious pastries. I was glad that in the very center of such a calm and very clean church. The first floor is rooted into the ground, but through a transparent visor you can take a photo of the old masonry. Over the long history of the temple, the bell tower deviated from the vertical and this can be seen with a careful look. I recommend taking photos from the side of bus stops, they turn out very well. (Original) В интернете очень много информации об этом храме, переписывать не буду. Много раз проходили мимо, а сейчас решили зайти. Когда зашли в церковный дворик, то повеяло таким душевным покоем и умиротворением, что хотелось находиться в этом месте очень долго. Территория небольшая, поэтому жалко, что часть дворика закрыта от посетителей. Но это не мешает насладиться всеми играми красок старинного храма. В храме много старинных икон. В магазине при церкви купили калач и пирожное с орехами. Не ожидала, что будет так вкусно. Поскольку сама стряпаю и мне очень тяжело угодить, но тут просто насладилась вкусной выпечкой. Порадовалась, что в самом центре такая спокойная и очень чистая церковь. Первый этаж врос в землю но через прозрачный козырек можно сделать фото старинной кладки. За долгую историю храма колокольня отклонилась от вертикали и это видно внимательному взгляду. Рекомендую делать фото со стороны автобусных остановок , получаются очень хорошо.

A very beautiful old church. Inside, the frescoes are dark from time to time. It was interesting to go in and feel the antiquity of this building

Were on January 24, 2022. I’ve never been here before, although I’ve been to this area of ​​Moscow quite often. A very old church from the 17th century, a pleasant, quiet, peaceful atmosphere, we came in after the evening service, the church was closing, but they didn’t kick us out until the last person had left. Thank you for this! And we also managed to collect baptismal water when other churches no longer had it. Thank you, Lord for everything🙏

An ancient church with very old prayed icons. On Thursdays the relics of St. Nikolai Ugodnik.

Take a look how inclined it's the church tower!

Beautiful church

Old church, right at the heart of Moscow, close to Kremlin. No parking, busy thoroughfare.

The 'Greek' Moscow's church. You can hear the liturgy at Greek sometimes and with the Byzantine singing method.

The temple with a very interesting and rich history has been known since the 14th century. A list of the rare miraculous icon of the Mother of God “Economissa” is kept here, as well as many relics of saints.

Not is good

Perfect place

I visit this temple, everything is very cozy, calm and I like that the conversations after the service are very instructive and educational. Thanks to all employees.
