Best places: Shrines in Zhukovsky, Russia

Striking red-brick cathedral with ornate turrets & spires, soaring interiors & regular concerts.

👍👍 The monastery has a lot of history; it dates back to the 14th century. Unfortunately, only the Gate Church of the Savior Not Made by Hands from 1696 in the Naryshkin Baroque style and several dozen tombstones have reached us. Calm, quiet, beautiful, well-groomed area.

👍👍 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...

Russian Orthodox monastery in 16th-century buildings, with gilded domes, a garden & nearby river.

👍👍 My favorite temple in Moscow. I've been going there for 15 years. One of the main shrines of the temple is a shrine with the relics of Matrona and her nightgown. I go to Matronushka as if she were alive, I write notes, I pray, I talk, she always helps. The temple is quiet, blessed, located almost in...

👍👍 Очень красивый собор снаружи и внутри.

👍 Church as church. But the building nearby is quite epic.

👍👍 Miraculously preserved ancient place. I was amazed by the divine singing of the choir in the temple. I think singers with conservatory education. There are enough people in the service. Good refectory. There is a park around. There are geese and lambs.

👍👍 We held a funeral service for my sister here after Covid.. Many thanks to the priest who accepted her (although we were turned down in another church)... He said very kind words at the funeral service, and did not approach formally. Thank you to all the ministers at the church store and church! We c...

👍👍 Вокруг Храма сохранилось самое древнее в Москве кладбище. Одно время сюда устраивали настоящие паломничества, так как на церковном кладбище храма Ильи Пророка похоронили московского юродивого Корейшу. Иван Яковлевич Корейша - русский юродивый, почитаемый многими современниками в качестве прозорливо...

👍👍 Очень уютный маленький храм. На службе не тесно, батюшки молодые и очень доброжелательные. Исповедь вечером, никогда не торопят. Возле храма есть детская площадка, что очень удобно с маленькими детьми. В церковно приходском доме работает воскресная школа для детей, проводятся евангельские беседы для...

👍👍 I really love this beautiful bell tower, a blessed, prayerful, historically significant place, because there was a beautiful monastery here. I really like the Divine Services, the clergy, the parishioners, they, like close relatives, lovingly welcome everyone who comes here. I am always drawn here a...

😠 The concept of "politeness" and "mutual respect" in relation to non-members of their community is absent. They fiercely do not welcome walks in the open area outside the temples. It used to be one of the brightest places in Moscow. The order has apparently changed dramatically over the past year. B...

👍👍 Там тихо,мирно и уютно, Красиво,дивно и свежё! И посетить часовню эту, Поверьте,хочется ещё...

👍👍 Instead of a garbage dump and a stupid parking lot, where the alarms did not go off at night, they built a neat temple. I would especially like to note the work of the bell ringer - a true Master!

👍👍 В храме работает уникальная женщина, настоящий фанат этого места. Предложила нам прослушать бесплатную небольшую лекцию об истории храма, рассказывала более получаса, затем отперла для нас колокольню и разрешила подняться. Фантастическое впечатление! Спасибо! Здоровья ей и сил!

👍👍 Church of the Nativity of John the Baptist (1689-1690) It is under restoration, but despite the forests, it is very beautiful. The church was built at the personal expense of the wealthy Uglich merchant Nikifor Grigoryevich Chepolosov in memory of his six-year-old son Ivan, who was killed by the cl...
