      • The first Simonov Monastery stood here; when the convent was moved higher up, the place was named Staroye Simonovo (Old Simonovo).
      • The stone church was built in 1509–1510 — one of the oldest in Moscow.
      • According to tradition, Alexander Peresvet and Andrei Oslyabya, who died on the Kulikovo Field in 1380, are buried by the church.
      • In Soviet times the church housed a factory compressor room; it was returned to the Church in the late 1980s.
