🏛 Church of St Sergius of Radonezh in Bibirevo

Костромская ул., вл. 7

A single-domed church of the former village of Bibirevo in the Russian style, built in the 1890s in gratitude for deliverance from cholera.

Construction of the stone church began in 1893, and it was consecrated in 1894.
According to tradition, on 13 July 1873, during a cholera epidemic, the icon of St Sergius of Radonezh tore itself from the monks' hands — after that the epidemic retreated.
Until 1764 the village belonged to the Ascension Monastery in the Kremlin.
In 1936 the church was closed and turned into a warehouse, and the wooden Annunciation church next to it was dismantled for a cowshed.
