👍👍 Quiet, very calm and beautiful place. Entrance to the territory is free. There are few visitors. On the territory of the monastery there is an interesting museum of ancient Russian culture and art named after. Andrey Rublev. The museum is located on four floors in the former Church of Michael the Ar...

👍👍 Near Oktyabrskaya metro station. In the center, but at the same time beautiful, cozy and secluded. There is a beautiful iconostasis inside. There is an icon of John the Warrior, Nicholas the Wonderworker helping and protecting people. There is a beautiful garden in the yard, trees and benches. Farm...

👍👍 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 ri...

👍👍 A very beautiful temple on Nikoloyamskaya Street. The first stone church appeared on this site in 1722, but was destroyed during a fire in the War of 1812. The current building was built in 1818. The rich interior decoration of the temple is due to its proximity to one of the largest Moscow Old Beli...

👍👍 The miraculous icon of the Vladimir Mother of God is absolutely accessible to anyone in this wonderful temple. Entrance to the temple from Tolmachevsky Lane. You can come completely freely during services; the schedule is on the website. To pray before the Holy miraculous image of the intercessor of...

👍👍 The Church of the Holy Blessed Prince Alexander Nevsky was built relatively recently, but is very popular not only among local residents; parishioners from other districts of Moscow also visit this temple. Several years ago, a small temple stood on this site, consecrated in honor of St. Nicholas the...

Pink-&-white 1993 replica of a destroyed 1600s Russian Orthodox church, topped with golden domes.

👍👍 A surprisingly warm, homely place. Sunday school for adults, children, church painting class, library. The level of teaching is the highest; not every institute can boast of teachers with such depth of knowledge of the subject, giving a layman who wants to understand Orthodoxy more and more deeply,...

👍👍 One of the few churches in the Lyublino-Maryino region where religion comes before commerce. O. Vitaly and Fr. Demetrius were able to bring true Christian spirituality into the temple. The sermons are useful, the services are sincere. It’s just a pity there are no early services and it’s a bit stuff...

👍👍 Храм был построен в 1698—1704 годах в стиле московского (нарышкинского) барокко. Архитектура церкви близка к храму Троицы в Троице-Лыкове . Архитектором считается Яков Бухвостов . В 1879 году к церкви пристроили колокольню, увенчанную шпилем. До наших дней колокольня не сохранилась . В 1938 году...

🫤 I would like to share my impression of the Temple. I give 2 stars only because of the worshipers and the woman in the church shop. But the good impression they make is offset by the rudeness and contempt from the elderly women involved in donations. They may be doing this on a voluntary basis, but t...

👍👍 An unusually sacred place (since the 14th century!), very beautiful inside, good choir. And the priests here are sensitive, attentive, responsive, smart, thoughtful, very sincere, they will never reproach, never push away, they will listen, support, and help with advice! This is the most amazing tem...

Small Orthodox chapel set between 2 of the main gateways to Red Square, rebuilt in 1995.

👍👍 The Church of the Conception of Righteous Anna, in the corner, in Zaryadye, was built no earlier than 1547 from white stone with brick vaults. We do not know the time when the church was founded on this site; the first written mention of a wooden church dates back to 1493, when the old wooden church...

😠 I went on Sunday hoping to see the frescoes. It wasn’t easy to get there, but I won’t describe the route, there’s no point in that. Entering the temple, I immediately realized that I would not be able to see the frescoes - it was dark in the temple. The light falls only through two windows, one wall...
