The temple in Pokrovskoye-Streshnevo is one of the currently operating cultural venues. On its basis, many different events are held aimed at leisure in the capital of our country. The temple attracts city guests as a unique monument of architecture and culture; its visit is included in almost all excursion programs in Moscow. In addition, it is the center of spiritual life, a place where believers meet and worship services are held.
History of the creation of the temple
On the site of the estate, where today the Church of the Intercession of the Virgin Mary is located in Pokrovskoye-Streshnevo, in the past there was a wasteland called Pojelka, which was first mentioned in documents dating back to 1585. In those distant times, the place belonged to Elizar Blagovo, a fairly famous person. The wasteland most likely got its name from the dense spruce forests that dominated the area.
The first church in Pokrovsky-Streshnevo was built at the beginning of the 17th century on the initiative of clerk M. F. Danilov. This church was first mentioned in 1629. According to some scientists, the church was built in 1620, when M. F. Danilov acquired these lands from the relatives of the boyar A. F. Palitsyn. There is a version that the temple in Pokrovsky-Streshnevo was built several decades earlier, and in 1629 a refectory was only added to it.
The owners of the estate, who owned it much later, also agreed with this version. However, the exact date of construction of the temple is still unknown. In the period from the beginning of the 18th to the end of the 19th century, the temple in Pokrovsky-Streshnevo was rebuilt many times and practically lost its original architecture.
Research carried out during restoration work in the thirties of the last century made it possible to restore its supposed appearance in the 17th century.
Features of the temple
Unlike many religious buildings of that time, it does not have an altar projection on the eastern facade. The quadrangle closed by a vault ended with a “slide” of kokoshniks, which were crowned with one chapter. Wide blades evenly divided its facades into three spindles; a doorway was built in the center of the northern façade.
Another feature of the church is the small narrow ventilation windows, which were located on the eastern facade, adjacent to the skylights. One of these lancet windows remains today on the eastern façade of the temple between two skylights, which were later expanded.
During excavations, archaeologists discovered the bases of two brick pillars under the floor of the temple, which are structurally unjustified for such a volume. This allowed the researchers to assume that the initial larger design was changed during construction for unknown reasons. The walls of the temple were plastered much later, so the original color of the red brick contrasted with the white architectural details.
Of greatest interest is the ancient part, which dates back to the beginning of the 18th century. Here today you can see elements inherent in Peter’s time. While maintaining the composition that developed in Russian architecture at the end of the 17th century, the detailed development of architectural and decorative forms continued, which clearly emphasizes the dependence on Western European influence.
Rebuilding the temple
P. I. Streshnev, the owner of the estate, began the reconstruction of the Church of the Intercession in Pokrovsky-Streshnev in 1750, during which the structure acquired Baroque features. However, the planned configuration of the building at that time remained the same. Ten years later, a bell tower (three-tiered) was added to the temple. After this, the church almost did not change its appearance until the end of the 19th century.
Temple in the 19th century
During the French invasion, Pokrovskoe-Streshnevo was the last to be captured. The temple was desecrated - a stable was built in it. After the victory over the invaders (1812), it was re-consecrated. A little later, the bell tower, or rather its upper tier, was rebuilt.
Ten years later (1822) the church was rebuilt in the Empire style. Eclectic elements appeared in the architectural appearance of the building in 1896.
Streshnevs - owners of the estate
In the second half of the 19th century the parish increased significantly. At that time, Princess E. F. Shakhovskaya-Glebova-Streshneva owned the estate. She did not plan to expand the ancient temple, and therefore she made attempts to assign some of the parishioners to another parish. However, she failed to do this.
It should be noted that the Streshnevs were the owners of the estate for two and a half centuries. This family was not noble until 1626. But then Mikhail Fedorovich Romanov, the Russian Tsar, married E. L. Streshneva. This marriage produced ten children, including Alexei Mikhailovich, the future Russian Tsar. Since then, the family took a prominent place in the court hierarchy.
E. P. Streshneva, one of the owners of the estate, married F. I. Glebov. In 1803, she managed to obtain for her family the right to bear a double surname: Streshnev-Glebov. Thus, the village received another name - Pokrovskoye-Glebovo.
A petition to the Moscow Spiritual Consistory to expand the church was submitted in 1894 by the parishioners of Pokrovsky-Streshnev. They began to rebuild the temple: they dismantled the old refectory, built two new chapels - the apostles Peter and Paul and St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. Funds for these works were allocated by the wealthy merchant P. P. Botkin, a respected person in the city, a member of the partnership “Peter Botkin and Sons,” which was engaged in the tea trade. In 1905, the church walls and ceiling were painted.
Post-revolutionary period
In the twenties of the last century, a museum was equipped in the estate. But less than ten years later, both the museum and the temple were closed, and the bell tower was partially destroyed. A little later, the building was transferred to the Ministry of Aviation. In 1931, the Moscow Regional Executive Committee decided to close the Intercession Church in Pokrovsky-Streshnevo. Father Peter, the rector of the temple, was arrested, and his further fate is unknown.
After the war with Nazi Germany (1941-1945), the temple in Pokrovsky-Streshnevo was given to a fuel laboratory belonging to the Civil Aviation Research Institute. From that moment until the end of the eighties of the last century, the external appearance of the temple changed significantly: the head of the temple and the original interior design were lost, the uppermost tier of the bell tower was dismantled, a little later experts discovered weathering of the brickwork surface on the facades, and the elements of the facade decor noticeably changed.
Return of the temple to the Russian Orthodox Church
The Russian government, by its decision in 1992, transferred the temple to the Russian Orthodox Church. At this time, a large-scale campaign began to collect donations for the restoration of the Church of the Intercession in Pokrovsky-Streshnevo. In December 1993, the temple was consecrated in full.
The parishioners invested a lot of money, as well as physical and spiritual strength, into the revival of their city church. Only during the winter of 1994 was the roof completely replaced and a cross and a dome installed. Already at Christmas 1995, a performance was organized at the temple for lonely elderly people with performances by children's groups, as well as the presentation of gifts.
The parishioners also remembered the feast of the Holy Epiphany, which took place in the church in 1995. After the Liturgy, the parishioners followed a religious procession to the Jordan, and Father Gennady (Trokhin) blessed a spring in the park.
The Blessed Virgin Mary: restoration
Restoration work began in the temple in the late eighties under the patronage of the Rosrestavratsiya company. The restoration project was developed by the famous Russian architect S. A. Kiselev. During the work, key architectural fragments of the building and most decorative elements were restored.
The iconostasis that exists in the church today (two-tiered) is decorated with icons that were painted at the Russian Orthodox Church Artistic Enterprise in Sofrin, in the style of color lithographs imitating ancient Russian painting. The iconostasis was installed in 1996. The interiors were re-painted between 1988 and 2000.
Work on the restoration and restoration of the ancient temple does not stop at the present time. In May 2006, Belarusian specialists led by S.I. Byshnev completed work on the last of three magnificent mosaic frescoes located on the facade of the temple.
In 2015, the contracting organization Promproekt LLC, using funds allocated from the Moscow budget, strengthened the waterproofing of the foundations, the white stone base was restored, the facades were returned to their historical colors, the marble floors were restored, and the oak windows and doors were restored.
The temple in Pokrovsky-Streshnevo changed its appearance many times. But despite this, it is an invaluable historical and architectural monument, an example of a patrimonial church dating back to the beginning of the 17th century. Today it is under state protection as a most valuable architectural monument. He entered the cultural and educational complex “Pokrovskoye-Glebovo-Streshnevo”.
In the fall of 2011, Patriarch Kirill awarded the ancient temple the honorary status of a patriarchal metochion. The following shrines are kept in the church:
- icons of the Intercession of the Virgin Mary and Nicholas the Wonderworker;
- robe of the Intercession of the Virgin Mary;
- reliquaries.
Address and opening hours
The temple is located at the address: Pokrovskoye-Streshnevo, Volokolamskoe highway, 52, building 1 (next to the Shchukinskaya metro station). The temple is open daily from 8.00 to 20.00. On Sunday morning service begins at 7.00.
The temple was built in 1646.
The Church of the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary was built in 1629. The history of the village of Pokrovskoye originates from it. The name of the area comes from the names of the owners of the estate and land - the Streshnevs. After the twinning of two noble families in the name in 1803, the double surname Streshnev-Glebov began to be mentioned. And the village of Pokrovskoye-Streshnevo received another name - Pokrovskoye-Glebovo.
The Intercession Church was rebuilt many times. After the revolution of 1917, a museum was organized in the estate. In the 30s In the 20th century, the museum and church were closed, the bell tower of the church was partially destroyed. Divine services in the Church of the Intercession were resumed in 1994.
Pokrovskoye-Streshnevo is an ancient village near Moscow. To see the Church of the Intercession, you need to go through the estate gates, which from a distance resemble monastery gates. The current appearance of the temple says little about its venerable antiquity, but in the very name of the old area, in the small fragments of preserved ancient masonry, there is a deep history.
In the parish books of the Patriarchal Treasury Order for 1629 there is listed “the newly arrived Church of the Intercession of the Holy Virgin, and in the chapels of the Miracle of the Archangel Michael, and Alexy the Wonderworker in the patrimony of the clerk of the rank Mikhail Danilov, in the village of Pokrovskoye-Podelki.” The church was made of stone. The word "newly arrived" most likely indicates that it was recently built.
The question of the time of construction of the temple is complicated by the record of the subsequent owners of the Streshnev estate. In 1770, General-in-Chief Pyotr Ivanovich Streshnev ordered an inscription to be made on the northern wall of the renovated church: “In the year from the creation of the world 7108, from the Nativity of Christ 1600, in the estate near Moscow in the village of Pokrovskoye, this holy church was built in the name of the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos and consecrated in October 1 day and after 1770, 170 years later, it stands visible, indestructible in a perfect fortress.” It is difficult to say now from what sources this information was obtained. Apparently, the general decided to round up the date, aging the building by 29 years.
After the death of Mikhail Danilovich, his widow in 1651 sold Pokrovskoye to the okolnik Fyodor Kuzmich Elizarov; the latter, in 1664, ceded the village to another okolnichy - Rodion Matveevich Streshnev, who managed to serve the first four tsars of the Romanov dynasty, and was young Pyotr Alekseevich’s uncle (educator). From then until the Soviet period, it belonged to the Streshnev family.
Archival materials of the 18th century on the history of manor churches near Moscow are few and laconic; We sometimes find brief information about churches in later sources or in personal (family) funds. Thus, in many clergy registers of the 19th century, in the obligatory section dedicated to the date of construction, it is indicated that the time of construction of the Intercession Church was 1750. The question arises: if the temple was built this year, then where did the stone one, built only 120 years ago, go? Was it possible to demolish even a small brick structure to the ground? Archival sources do not give a direct answer to these questions, so historians and architects take the path of assumptions and field studies, as a result of which it was found that the quadrangle of the temple was basically built in the 17th century, and many reconstructions, alterations and repairs distorted the appearance of the early the temple beyond recognition. The closest analogy in time to the Church of the Intercession can be the Kazan Cathedral (1620–1636), built on Red Square in memory of the victory over the Poles.
Of course, the triumphal forms of the Kazan Cathedral are much brighter, but the main architectural features embodied in it could belong to a small estate church building with a pillarless interior space and a small refectory room.
Over time, tastes changed, and General P.I. Streshnev decided to recreate the temple in the spirit of the then fashionable Baroque. The planned structure of the ancient building was preserved, only by redoing its completion, replacing the pyramid of kokoshniks with a hipped roof, clearing out the old narrow windows, adding modest baroque frames to their frames. The temple was renovated rather than rebuilt. At the same time or somewhat later, in the 1760s, a new bell tower was built. Before this, bells hung on wooden poles. But the fact of major repairs and reconsecration in 1750 took place, and in later clergy records this date began to be given as the time of construction.
After the death of Pyotr Ivanovich in 1771, the estate passed into the hands of his daughter Elizaveta Petrovna.
Pokrovskoye suffered during the War of 1812. The French built a stable in the church premises. However, the property of the church survived, and it was soon reconsecrated. According to the title of the unpreserved file from 1822, we learn about the renovation of the temple at this time.
After the death of Elizaveta Petrovna in 1837, the estate passed to her grandson of the Guard, Colonel Evgraf Petrovich Glebov-Streshnev, and then to the latter’s niece Evgenia Fedorovna Breven, who married Prince Mikhail Valentinovich Shakhovsky. Since the male branch of the Glebov-Streshnev family was interrupted, in 1866 it was allowed to add this double surname to the prince’s surname. The Shakhovskys-Glebovs-Streshnevs - this is how the ancient family now began to be called.
Rebuilt in 1750, but receiving almost no additional premises, by this time the temple could no longer accommodate all the worshipers, especially since in the summer many summer residents came to the vicinity of Pokrovsky, who considered these places to be especially prestigious. Princess Shakhovskaya tried to solve this problem in her own way. Since 1867, not wanting to expand the temple, she sought to annex the parish to the Znamensky Church of the village of Aksinin, which was located many kilometers from Pokrovsky. The church authorities supported the peasants who did not want to go to a distant temple, and, finally, with the financial help of a wealthy local summer resident P.P. Botkin, it was decided to begin expanding the Church of the Intercession.
The implementation of the project was entrusted to G.A. Kaiser. After the work, the room almost doubled in size. The chapels, which were once located in a small refectory and were abolished in the 18th century to save space, now reappeared in the side parts. One of them was dedicated to the holy apostles Peter and Paul, and the other to Nicholas the Wonderworker.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the parish of the church, together with the village of Nikolsky and the villages of Ivankovo and Zakharkovo, already numbered 1,261 people. The staff of the expanded church included a priest and two psalm-readers. Since 1902, the position of priest has been held by Pyotr Mikhailovich Velezhev. Since 1911, he headed the parochial school and was a teacher of law there; later he taught at the zemstvo and railway schools, and in 1913 he received a second silver medal for his work on public education.
After 1917, the calm times for the church ended. In 1922, liturgical utensils were confiscated from it to Gokhran for the famine relief fund. In 1931, according to the protocol of a meeting of the Moscow Regional Executive Committee, on the standard and false accusation that the Church of the Intercession was visited by a very small number of believers, while there was an urgent need for premises for cultural and educational work, it was decided to close the church. Priest Pyotr Velezhev was arrested and kept in prison for three years.
In 1933, a holiday home for Civil Aeroflot employees was located on the estate. After the war, the church was adapted into a laboratory, the dome and bell tower were demolished to the second tier, and the interiors were significantly refurbished. In the 1960s, the main premises of the estate were used as a rest home for military pilots; in the 70s, the church housed a laboratory of the Civil Aviation Research Institute.
There has long been a holy spring in the park under Mount Elizabeth. In the 1970s, it was enclosed in a pipe, and a swan figure was laid on top from broken tiles. However, the new name of the spring takes root with difficulty, and residents of neighboring places come to the spring every day for holy water, and Orthodox people invariably gather at night on Epiphany.
In 1992, by decree of the Moscow Government, the Church of the Intercession of the Mother of God was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church. Fundraising for restoration has begun. In September 1993, Archpriest Boris Malevich served a prayer service “For the beginning of every good deed.” At first, the Orthodox gathered for prayer services on Sundays with the windows not yet sealed.
On December 6, 1993, the temple was consecrated in full. The parishioners invested a lot of work and money into their church. During the winter of 1994, the roofs were replaced and a dome and cross were installed.
The church is assigned to the Church of All Saints in Vsekhsvyatskoe. Among the shrines are the icon of the Intercession of the Mother of God, the revered icon of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, and a reliquary with the relics of several saints.

Church of the Intercession built 1600–1620. (according to other sources - 1646). It was rebuilt several times in the 18th–19th centuries.
Restored in the late 1990s. designed by architect S. A. Kiselyov.
At the end of the 16th century, the village of Podelki was located here, which belonged to the Tushin family and became the estate of E.I. Blagovo. After the Time of Troubles, the owners of the land changed again: in 1629, clerk M.D. Feofilaktov built here a stone church of the Intercession of the Virgin Mary with chapels in the name of the Miracle of the Archangel Michael and in honor of the holy Metropolitan Alexy, after which the village began to be designated on maps as Pokrovskoye. According to other sources, at first the Church of the Intercession was wooden, the stone church was built later, in 1646. In 1678, ownership passed to the boyar Rodion Streshnev - it would belong to his descendants until the revolution. However, the surname itself became longer over time: in the 18th century, the direct line of the Streshnevs was cut short and the family began to be called the Glebov-Streshnevs. When the line was interrupted again in the 19th century, the surname became triple - Shakhovsky-Glebov-Streshnev.
The Church of the Intercession is the oldest building in the area.
According to clergy records, the existing church was built in 1750 on a new site, but with the old dedication. There is an assumption that it was originally an outbuilding adapted for a church. According to another version, in the same 1750, a major reconstruction of the old church took place, as a result of which it received a baroque decor, losing narrow windows and finishing with kokoshniks, instead of which a regular hipped roof was installed (an analogue of the church before the restructuring could be the Kazan Cathedral on Red Square) . A three-tier bell tower with a spire was built on the western side at the same time - in the 1770s.
In 1822 the temple was rebuilt in the Empire style. The refectory with the chapels of Saints Peter and Paul and St. Nicholas the Wonderworker was created in 1886 according to the design of the architect G. A. Kaiser with donations from local summer resident Peter Botkin (a famous Moscow tea merchant), and the first chapel was consecrated in honor of the patron saint of the ktitor.
In 1896, the temple acquired eclectic forms. The church fence with the main entrance and corner towers was built at the end of the 18th century.
In the early 1930s. the church was closed, and the entire territory came under the jurisdiction of the military department. The temple housed a civil aviation research institute with a laboratory. The building lost its crosses and domes, the interior decoration was destroyed, and new rooms were partitioned off. The restoration of the church began in 1992, and in 1994 the first services were held here after a long break.
Today, the Church of the Intercession of the Virgin Mary is the only part of the ensemble of the Pokrovskoye-Glebovo-Streshnevo estate that is available for inspection and visiting. The rest of the territory is fenced off and is not used in any way; the estate buildings are empty and destroyed.
Object of cultural heritage of federal significance.

Church of the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Pokrovskoe-Glebovo-Streshnevo estate, Podjelki also, on the Chernushka River
Volokolamskoye Highway, 52
"Owners: E. I. Blagovo - 1584; A. F. Palitsyna - 1622; M. F. Danilova - 1622-1640; Streshnevs (Glebov-Streshnevs; Shakhovsky-Glebov-Streshnevs) - since 1678 to 1917."
“Pokrovskoe-Streshnevo was in the hands of one clan for more than two centuries - the Streshnev boyar family.”
"In 1584, here in the estate of E.I. Blagovo there was a wasteland, which was the village of Pod'elki, which previously belonged to S. and F. Tushin. In 1622, the wasteland was sold by A.F. Palitsyn to clerk M.D. Feofilaktov, who made it a village. Around 1629, he built a stone church of the Intercession with the chapels of the Miracle of the Archangel Michael and Metropolitan Alexei. The village began to be called Pokrovskoye, Podjelki, also, on the river on Chernushka. In 1678, the village belonged to R. M. Streshnev. . to his grandson Pyotr Ivanovich. The current main church, according to clergy records, was built in 1750. It does not have an apse and an old cemetery around it - perhaps P. I. Streshnev gave some kind of economic building for the temple, also in 1750. later on horseback. Around 1880, local summer resident P. P. Botkin built a refectory with two chapels - Peter and Paul and St. Nicholas the Wonderworker."
The main house of the estate, wooden, 1760s. at the end of the 19th century century, it was built on both sides by the last owner of the estate, millionaire E.F. Shakhovskaya-Glebova-Streshneva, with vast buildings in the romantic Russian style, surrounded by a fence with towers, etc. According to the recollections of old-timers, the park had a system of ponds and alleys decorated with statues. The same owner owned a large building with a theater on Bolshaya Nikitskaya, now st. Herzen 19 (since the 1990s, again B. Nikitskaya - P.P.), where there was also even a Karaite kenasa temple.
E. F. Shakhovskaya-Glebova-Streshneva emigrated after 1917 and died abroad, and a museum was established on her nationalized family estate in 1928; Several guidebooks have been published. The museum was named "Noble Estate" and in the "Illustrated Guide to the Outskirts of Moscow" 1926, ed. Yu. S. Rosenberg was described in the following spirit: “In Pokrovsky-Streshnev, one recalls stories about the whims of the last owner of the estate. The enormous wealth concentrated in her hands satisfied all her whims, right down to her own carriage for trips around Europe and her own yacht for walks in the Mediterranean the sea. The life of nobles like the Streshnevs, far from useful work, in an unhealthy atmosphere, contributed to the development of tyranny, eccentricity, based on the exploitation of the working people and signifying the degeneration of this (? - P.P.) class. Excellent view of the wooded valley of the Khimki River, which flows nearby. estate, leaves an impression, like everything from Pokrovsky-Streshnev, that speaks of enchanting beauty...".
The estate house was especially remarkable for its good collection of paintings, and the park was famous for the Elizavetino pavilion in the classicist style of 1775, occupied in 1924 by a “health resort for the children of the Moscow Health Department” and subsequently demolished - although it was considered the most outstanding building of the entire estate. It is curious that the hill where he stood is still called “Elizabeth” by local residents.
Since the 1930s the museum, along with a considerable number of other regional museums, was closed and destroyed; Part of the situation was saved - it ended up in the State. Historical Museum.
In 1967, the estate was occupied by a rest home for military pilots. In the 1970s the temple housed a civil aviation research institute with a laboratory, and the main house was shared by the same research institute and the research institute of the Ministry of Agricultural Construction of the RSFSR. Finally, since the early 1980s. they were all evicted, the estate was surrounded by a concrete fence where the fence of the late 19th century had not been preserved, and the entire complex was given over to the construction of the Reception House of the Ministry of Civil Aviation. Visitors are not allowed to enter.
The temple was beheaded, the bell tower was broken down to the 2nd tier, and at first glance it was difficult to recognize the building as a church building at all. Everything inside has been refurbished.
The estate complex is under state protection under No. 235 and includes: “the main house, wooden, 1760s, with extensions from the late 19th century; a greenhouse, late 18th - early 19th centuries; church, 1750s. , the end of the 19th century; a fence with a front arched gate and towers, the end of the 19th century; a park of 117.5 hectares with ponds, the 18th century."
The pond closest to the main house has an artificial island in the middle. Under Mount Elizabeth, a holy spring has long been breaking through the sandy layers of soil, which, when the park was settled in the 1970s. was “decorated”: the exit was enclosed in a pipe, with a “Swan” figurine laid out on top from broken tiles, after which they tried to rename the key, calling it not holy, but “mineral-healing” in a specially reinforced inscription. However, the new name does not take root, and Orthodox people invariably gather at night at the spring, where hundreds of people with containers rush every day on Epiphany and sing the prayers of the holiday.
Until recently, nearby there was a very elegant pavilion of the Riga railway station "Pokrovskoye-Streshnevo", built in the 1900s. made of wood in the Art Nouveau style by academician of architecture Brzozovsky. In 1984, they began to demolish the pavilion; After protests from the Society for the Preservation of Monuments, demolition was stopped, but the roof had already been torn off, and the building, which could not find a new owner, was left to the winds. By 1990 it had collapsed.
Pokrovskoye-Streshnevo has been located within the city since 1919.
Since 1992, they began to collect funds for the restoration of the temple, which is attached to the church. All Saints on Sokol.
Divine services in the chapel of the temple were resumed in 1994.
