      🏛 Averky Kirillov Chambers

      Берсеневская наб., 18–20–22

      • The chambers took on their current look in 1656–1657 under Duma clerk Averky Kirillov.
      • The plot used to belong to Ivan Bersen-Beklemishev, executed in 1525.
      • In 1703–1711 the clerk A. F. Kurbatov, who built the Kremlin Arsenal, added an extension in the Petrine taste with volutes and a little "terem" tower.
      • The Church of St Nicholas on Bersenevka used to be connected to the chambers by a covered passage.
      • From 1868 to 1923 the Moscow Archaeological Society was housed here.
      • In February 2026, restoration work here uncovered a hoard of 20,000 silver coins from the 16th–17th centuries.
