🏛 Church of the Intercession in Pokrovskoye-Streshnevo

Волоколамское ш., 52, корп. 1

A small white church with an 18th–19th-century bell tower at the edge of the estate park.

A stone Intercession church is already mentioned in 1629.
Until the 1980s the church was dated to 1750, but restorers found a small window in a wall from the 1620s and "aged" it by 130 years.
The church was rebuilt at his own expense by the dacha resident Pyotr Botkin, brother of the famous doctor Sergey Botkin.
Under Princess Shakhovskaya-Glebova-Streshneva the church was extended with side chapels of St Nicholas the Wonderworker and of Saints Peter and Paul.
