🏛 Church of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God in Uzkoye

Профсоюзная ул., 123Б

A whitewashed 1690s church in the Naryshkin Baroque spirit at the estate where the philosopher Vladimir Solovyov died in 1900.

The church was commissioned by the boyar Tikhon Streshnev; all five domes are the same height and the plan is four-lobed — there is nothing else like it in Russian architecture.
The bell tower is the western drum above the entrance, and its dome works as a sound resonator.
The architect is often said to be Osip Startsev, but documents do not confirm this: the real architect is unknown.
According to legend, Napoleon watched his army retreat in 1812 from the church's belfry.
Closed in 1930, the church served as a book depository, including trophy libraries brought from Germany.
The onion domes appeared only in the 1970s restoration; the earlier late-18th-century domes were elongated upward.
The church was consecrated again at Easter, on 22 April 1992, after the books were moved out.
