🏛 Church of the Life-Giving Trinity in Sviblovo

Лазоревый пр., 15, стр. 3

An early-18th-century Baroque church built under Kirill Naryshkin for the Sviblovo estate.

The stone church is not the first on this spot: the Pleshcheyevs rebuilt a wooden church in 1622–1623 and 1677.
Kirill Naryshkin added the bell tower in 1709, soon after the church itself was built.
The church is the only fully preserved building of the Naryshkin estate of the early 18th century.
The cross-shaped plan and window frames are still in the 17th-century spirit, while the crowning elements already show Petrine architectural methods.
There is a version that the estate was built by Swedish prisoners after the Battle of Poltava and that one of the church's bells is a Swedish trophy.
The church was closed in 1938, services resumed in 1995, and since 1994 it has been a Patriarchal Metochion.
The church's comprehensive restoration was completed in February 2026.
