The Temple of St. Sergius of Radonezh in Krapivniki
Russia, Moscow, Krapivensky Lane, D.4
Description:
The Church of St. Sergius of Radonezh in Krapivniki is an active Orthodox church in the Tver district of Moscow. The first mention of it dates back to 1591, but the stone church was founded later - in 1625. The temple is built in the style of Russian Baroque and is recognized as a federal cultural heritage site of Russia.
After the October Revolution, the building was partially destroyed – the bell tower was demolished, property was seized, and worship services stopped. In 1991, the church of St. Sergius of Radonezh was returned to the Orthodox Church and gradually restored. On the outer wall of the north side of the temple there are funerary plates of the Ukhtomsky princes.
