Church of St. Vladimir in the Old Gardens

The church is located on the territory of a dried-up small river in Old Sadekh - a historical and very beautiful place in Moscow. This place is called "Kulishki". Kulishki, according to most historians, means “sweet swamp”.

Fruit trees grow on the slopes. There are stables on the territory of the summer palace. The temple is the central object that deserves the most attention. He was given the name St. Vladimir, because he was the illuminator of the Russian land. This is one of the oldest buildings, information about which dates back to the early 15th century. The temple was first mentioned in the will of Prince Vasily I in 1423.

The building we see today was built in 1670-1680. The central throne was consecrated in the name of Prince Vladimir, the side parts of the throne in the name of Princes Boris and Gleb. Patriarch Alexy II personally consecrated the main throne and conducted the service.

In 1737 and 1812, a fire engulfed the temple. Each time the church was modified, and the facade of the building was repaired.

Previously, the feast of beheading was held annually in the Vladimir Church. So it happened that the holiday was 2 days, and not the territory of the shrine opened fair. The proceeds go to the service of prayer.

Since the late 19th century, fairs have not been collected. However, the holiday was celebrated and served prayers.

Since 1991, restoration and restoration work has been carried out in the church.

At the church there is a spiritual Sunday school, a church singing school, a general education gymnasium.

To get to the historic place is most reasonable by subway. You need to get to the station "Lubyanka" and to the place there is only 12 minutes to walk: go to Maroseyka street, and then turn to the 3rd lane on the right.
