      • The first, wooden church was built around 1685 — the church's icon is dated 1686.
      • In 1696 the Presnya settlement already had 330 households.
      • Construction of the stone church began in 1714, but the work was interrupted by a decree banning stone building across the country for the sake of Petersburg.
      • In 1756 a side chapel of the church was consecrated by Metropolitan Roman (Eristavi), head of the Georgian Church — the Georgian Sloboda was nearby.
