🏛 Church of the Archangel Michael in Troparyovo

пр-т Вернадского, 90, стр. 1

A red-brick church of the 1690s in the Naryshkin Baroque style with white carved details.

The stone church was completed by 1694 with funds from the Novodevichy Convent, which owned the village; the architect's name is unknown.
Judging by its architecture, the bell tower is older than the church itself: it is dated to the mid-17th century and the Moscow uzorochye (ornate) style.
The church was closed in 1939, and in the 1960s it stored Mosfilm sets.
The consecration on 23 February 1989 was the first consecration of a church reopened after the persecutions in Moscow.
Parishioners hid one old bell; until 1989 it was kept in the Theatre on Yugo-Zapad opposite the church.
The church flashes by in "The Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath!" (1975) and in the Italian film "Sunflower" (1970).
