      🏛 Church of Elijah the Prophet in Cherkizovo

      A small single-domed church of 1690 on a hill above Cherkizovsky Pond — a remnant of the former village of the Moscow metropolitans.

      • The village took its name from the Horde prince Serkiz, who was baptised as Ivan Serkizov.
      • The first church was built in the 14th century by the new owner, the baptised Tatar Ilya Ozakov, in honour of his patron saint.
      • In 1378 Metropolitan Alexei bought Cherkizovo "with his own silver" and bequeathed it to the Chudov Monastery.
      • The stone church was consecrated on 18 June 1690 on the site of a burnt wooden one.
      • The Sosenka river, on which the church stood, now flows in a collector along the pond's eastern shore.
