Church in Pokrovo Streshnevo schedule of services. Pokrovskoye-Streshnevo, Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Streshnevs - owners of the estate

The Pokrovskoye-Glebovo-Streshnevo estate is located on the site of the Podjolka wasteland, which was first mentioned in scribe books in 1585. At that time, it was owned by Elizar Ivanovich Blagovo, a prominent figure in the second half of the 16th century. The wasteland most likely owes its name to the spruce forests that predominated in this area.

At the beginning of the 17th century, A.F. became the owner of the wasteland. Palitsyn, who sided with False Dmitry II, but then went over to the side of the legitimate authorities. In 1622, he sold the wasteland to clerk Mikhail Feofilatievich Danilov, who built a village here. In 1629, a stone “newly arrived church of the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and in the chapels of the Miracle of the Archangel Michael and Alexei the Wonderworker,” was erected in the village. From this time the history of the village of Pokrovskoye begins. According to the census book of 1646, there are 8 peasant households. According to other sources, at first the Church of the Intercession was wooden; a stone church was built later, in 1646.

After the death of clerk Danilov, F.K. owned the estate for a short time. Elizarov. In 1664, he sold Pokrovskoe-Podjelki to Rodion Matveevich Streshnev. At this time, there are already 220 households in the village. The Streshnevs owned the estate for 250 years. This family was not noble until 1626, when Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich Romanov married Evdokia Lukyanovna Streshneva. There were 10 children from this marriage, including the future Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich. Since then, the family has advanced and taken a prominent place in the court hierarchy. One of the owners of Pokrovsky, Elizaveta Petrovna Streshneva, married Fyodor Ivanovich Glebov and in 1803 obtained permission for her family to be called by a double surname: Streshnev-Glebov. After this, the village of Pokrovskoye-Streshnevo received another name: Pokrovskoye-Glebovo.

At the beginning of the 19th century, in the vicinity of Pokrovsky, “houses for summer housing with all their accessories” were rented out. Dachas in Pokrovskoye were always considered fashionable and were very expensive. In 1807, N.M. Karamzin lived here, who worked on the “History of the Russian State.” In 1856, L.N. visited Pokrovskoye-Streshnevo. Tolstoy, who visited Lyubov Bers there. Subsequently, he married one of her daughters, Sofya Andreevna.

The Church of the Intercession is the oldest building in the area. Built at the beginning of the 17th century, it was rebuilt many times, reflecting in its appearance the dominant architectural trends of different times. In the middle of the 18th century, it was given magnificent Baroque features and a refectory was added. And since 1822 the temple stood, rebuilt in the Empire style. In 1896 it acquired eclectic forms. The bell tower was built in the 1770s. The church fence with the main entrance and corner towers was built at the end of the 18th century.

After the 1917 revolution, a museum was organized in the estate. In the 30s of the 20th century, the museum and the church were closed, the bell tower of the church was partially destroyed.

Divine services in the Church of the Intercession were resumed in 1994.

The stone church in the Pokrovsky-Streshnevo estate was built in the first third of the 17th century by the clerk of the Discharge Order, Mikhail Feofilatievich Danilov. It was first mentioned in the parish books of the Patriarchal Treasury Order of 1629: “... 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 estate of the discharge clerk Mikhail Danilov, in the village of Pokrovskoe - Podjelki.” The church was built no earlier than 1622, when M.F. Danilov acquired the “wasteland on the Chernushka River” from the boyar’s son Andrei Fedorovich Palitsyn, one of the “flyers” who swore allegiance to False Dmitry II, whose Tushino camp was located in 1608 across the Khimka River just a couple of miles from Podyeloki.

Severely distorted by numerous reconstructions and repairs of the 18th-19th centuries, the church has practically lost the character of its original architecture. Research carried out during restoration work in the 1930s allowed us to presumably reconstruct its appearance in the 17th century. The building, small in size, consisted of a squat quadrangle of the main volume and a refectory on the western side.

There is an opinion that the church was built at the very beginning of the 17th century, and around 1629 a refectory was only added to it. It is interesting that the subsequent owners of the estate also preferred to consider their church more ancient. In the papers of Chief General Pyotr Ivanovich Streshnev there is a mention of the inscription, which in 1770 he ordered to be made on the northern side of the temple: “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 Protection of the Most Holy Theotokos was consecrated on the 1st day of October and after 1770, 170 years later, it stands visible and indestructible in perfect fortress.” This evidence, however, is not confirmed in known written sources, and the question of the exact date of construction of the building remains open.

The first major reconstruction of the church, as a result of which its architecture acquired baroque features that have survived to this day, was done in 1750 on the initiative of the then owner of the estate, Pyotr Ivanovich Streshnev. The planned configuration of the building was left unchanged; smooth blades on the facades were replaced by pilasters made of rough-hewn natural stone; the skylights were expanded, receiving strip platbands with keystones characteristic of the mid-17th century; Instead of a “slide” of kokoshniks, a simple hipped roof appeared. At the same time, both chapels in the refectory were abolished - the Miracle of the Archangel Michael and Alexius the Wonderworker, and the church became single-altar. Somewhat later, probably in the 1760s. the composition of the building was complemented by a three-tier bell tower built by P.I. Streshnev on the western side of the refectory. Before this, bells hung on wooden poles. In this form, the church existed almost until the end of the 19th century, undergoing minor changes during periodic renovations.

During the Napoleonic invasion, a detachment of French dragoons was stationed in the estate, the church was desecrated - a stable was built in it. The temple was re-dedicated in 1812 immediately after the defeat of the French and the counter-offensive of Russian troops.

In the second half of the nineteenth century. the small church no longer met the needs of the significantly increased parish. The owner of the estate, Princess Evgenia Fedorovna Shakhovskaya-Glebova-Streshneva, not wanting to rebuild the ancient church, for a number of years unsuccessfully tried to obtain permission from the diocesan authorities to assign part of the parishioners of the Church of the Intercession to another parish. In 1894, at the request of the parishioners of the village of Pokrovskoe-Pod'elki, the Moscow Spiritual Consistory sent a petition to the Construction Department of the Moscow Provincial Board to expand the church. The reconstruction project, carried out by the famous architect Georgy Aleksandrovich Kaiser back in 1886, was approved by the Construction Department on April 25, 1896. According to the project, the old refectory was almost completely dismantled (only a small fragment of its western wall, adjacent to the bell tower, was preserved). Two new chapels were added - St. Nicholas the Wonderworker and the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul. All reconstruction work was financed by P.P. Botkin, a member of the tea trade partnership “Peter Botkin and Sons”, who rented a dacha in Pokrovsky. Perhaps the chapel of Peter and Paul corresponded to his heavenly patron. In 1905, artist S.K. Varov painted the walls and ceiling of the church. In 1925, the painting was washed and renewed by restoration artist A.Ya. Vashurov, a specialist in ancient Russian art.

In 1931, according to the minutes of a meeting of the Moscow Regional Executive Committee, it was decided to close the church. There is, however, evidence that it was closed by order of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee in 1932. The then rector of the temple, priest Father Peter (Velezhev), was arrested and kept in prison for three years.

After the Great Patriotic War, the temple housed the fuel laboratory of the Civil Aviation Research Institute - the upper tier of the bell tower was dismantled, the head of the temple was lost, and brick extensions were built on the sides of the refectory. The interior design was completely lost. By the late 1970s - early 1980s. some openings were widened, weathering of the front surface of the brickwork was observed on the facades, and some of the details of the facade decor were lost. Restoration work on the monument was carried out in the late 1980s - early 1990s. association "Rosrestavratsiya". The author of the project is architect S.A. Kiselev. During the restoration, later extensions were destroyed, the upper tier and the completion of the bell tower, the head of the temple, as well as the cut window openings and details of the facade decor were restored.

In 1992, by government decree, the Church of the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos was transferred to the Russian Orthodox Church, and fundraising began for its restoration. On December 6, 1993, the temple was consecrated. During the winter of 1994, the roofs were replaced and a dome and cross were installed.

Church of the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Pokrovsky-Streshnevo, Podjolki also.

According to the scribe books of the Moscow district, Goretov camp in 1584 it is listed: “belonging to Elizariy Ivanovich Blagovo in the estate, which was formerly a wasteland, that was the village of Podjolki.” In 1622 it was sold to clerk Mikhail Danilov by Andrei Palitsyn. Under clerk Danilov, the wasteland of Podjelka became a village, in it there was a courtyard with business people.

Church of the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary with the chapels of Michael the Archangel and St. Alexia the Wonderworker was built in the village of Pod'elki in stone around 1629 under the owner Mikhail Danilov, which is why the village was named after the Church of Pokrovskoe-Pod'elki. In the parish book of the Patriarchal State Order for 1629 it is written: “The newly arrived Church of the Intercession of the Holy Mother of God, and in the chapels of the Miracle Archangel Michael and Alexei the Wonderworker in the estate of the discharge clerk Mikhail Danilov, in the village of Pokrovskoye-Podelki; tribute is due 10 money, according to the order of the hryvnia; In the same village of Pokrovskoye, tribute was taken from the local priest for the first time.”

In the census books of 1646 it is written: “behind the Duma clerk Mikhail Danilov’s son Fefilatiev, the village of Pokrovskoye, Pod’elki is also there, and in it there is a stone Church of the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos, and near the church in the courtyard there is priest Simeon, and a cell of mallow maker, and 8 peasant households, people in There are 26 of them."

In 1678, this village with the village of Onosino belonged to the boyar Rodion Matveyevich Streshnev, in the village there were “9 people of bonded people, 10 families of workers, a clerk’s yard, a peasant’s yard, a bobyl’s yard, in the village that was the wasteland of Onosino, Covermen, too, in the mills bonded households 3 people, cart workers and business families 9, peasant households 4, bobyl households 4, and a total of 94 people.”

In the scribe books of the Moscow district for 1685-86. is listed: “behind the boyar Rodion Matveyevich Streshnev, the patrimony that was previously behind the Duma clerk Mikhail Danilov, the village of Pokrovskoye, Pod’elki, and in the village the church in the name of the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos, and in the chapels of the Miracle Archangel Michael and the miracle worker Alexei Metropolitan, a stone building votchinnikovo, near the church the priests' yard is empty, and in the same village there is a votchinniki yard, there are 4 people in bondage and business people, a peasant yard, a bobylsky yard... from the dachas of the village of Pokrovskoe, 10 quarters of arable land in the field, 10 hay were again measured to the church kopen."

After R.M. Streshnev's village of Pod'elki and the village went to his son Ivan Rodionovich in 1687. In the village of Pokrovskoye in 1704 there were: a patrimonial courtyard, with a steward and a groom, a cattle yard, with 4 people, 9 peasant households, with 34 people. After Ivan Rodionovich Streshnev, the village was owned since 1739 by his son Peter, in division with his brother Vasily Ivanovich Streshnev.

In the parish books of the Synodal Treasury Order for 1735 it appears: “from the Church of the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the village of Podelki, Pokrovskoe also, to help the regimental priests in 1734, 10 kopecks. taken."

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 Pojelki, 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 by one chapter. Wide blades evenly divided its facades into three spindles; the 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 led 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 remember 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 name of the estate combines the double surname of its long-term owners - the Glebov-Streshnevs - and the old name of the village - Pokrovskoye. The latter was given to the local church, which continues to this day.

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 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. 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.

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 conventional 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 at the same time on the western side. The refectory with the chapels of Saints Peter and Paul and Saint 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.

After the revolution, the “Noble Estate” museum was created in the main house of the Shakhovsky-Glebov-Streshnevs, the exhibition of which reflected the life and way of life of the aristocracy in Russia in the 18th-19th centuries. In the early 1930s, it was closed, many of its exhibits disappeared and were sold abroad, only some of them were transferred to the Historical Museum. At the same time, around 1932, the Church of the Intercession was also closed, and the entire territory came under the jurisdiction of the military department.

The main house later housed a rest home for military pilots, and 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 the following year the first services were held here after a long break.

Today, the Church of the Intercession of the Virgin is the only part of the ensemble of the Pokrovskoye-Glebovo-Streshnevo estate that is accessible 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.

Church of the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Pokrovskoe-Glebovo-Streshnevo estate, Podjelki also, on the Chernushka River

Volokolamsk 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 the 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, from 1739 . 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 - perhaps P. I. Streshnev gave some kind of economic building for the temple. The bell tower is also from 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 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, flowing 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. 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. , late 19th century; fence with front arched gates and towers, late 19th century; park of 117.5 hectares with ponds, 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.
