Temple of the Three Saints on Kulishki

per. Maly Three-Spiattelsky, 4/6, Moscow, Russia

Description:

The Church of the Three Hierarchs of the Great on Kulishki was built in 1674, at the expense of parishioners. The building of the temple was decided to make a two-storey, and the bell tower to be placed on the corner.

The location of the church is very successful - on the top of the Ivanovo mountain. The facade of the temple was decorated with patterned portals and casings, high porches lead to the upper floor, and the apses placed in a row ended with lemech-covered heads.

Since 1800, the temple was rebuilt several times, and in 1927, during the reign of Soviet power, it was closed, and the Myasnitskaya prison was located here. All cultural and ecclesiastical valuables were taken away, and the icon “Epiphany Oches” was stolen altogether. Soon the church building was beheaded, along with the bell tower tent. In the 30s, the building was transferred to the NKVD. After completion of several more floors, the building served as communal apartments.

Since 1991, the Orthodox community began to form in the church, and as a result, in 1992, the building was restored and returned to the Russian Orthodox Church.
