🚶 Maroseyka Street

An old street from Kitay-Gorod to Pokrovka with mansions, churches and small cafés.

The name comes from the 17th-century Little Russian Court: Maloroseyka gradually became Maroseyka.
From 1954 to 1990 the street was called Bohdan Khmelnytsky Street.
In 1638, of the 83 houses on Maroseyka, 62 belonged to boyar families.
In 1702 Pastor Glück's gymnasium worked in the Naryshkin chambers (no. 11).
The Church of Saints Cosmas and Damian on Maroseyka was built in 1791–1793, designed by Matvey Kazakov.
The former house of Field Marshal Rumyantsev-Zadunaisky, bought by him in 1793, is now occupied by the Embassy of Belarus.
