        • The present church was built in 1690–1694 on the site of a wooden church of 1619.
        • No documents about the author survive: the church is attributed either to Yakov Bukhvostov or to Pyotr Potapov.
        • The upper church of the Saviour Not Made by Hands is named in thanks for Lev Naryshkin's rescue during the Streltsy rebellion.
        • The carved decor and the iconostasis were made by Karp Zolotaryov, a master of the Ambassadorial Office.
        • In 1812 Napoleon's soldiers set up a stable in the lower church and a tailor's workshop in the upper one.
        • In July 1941 the domes and the upper octagon were removed so the church would not serve as a landmark for German spotters.
        • In 1980, for the Olympics, a branch of the Andrei Rublev Museum opened here; in 2019 the church was fully handed over to the Church.

        • In 1689 Peter I gave Fili to his uncle Lev Naryshkin, and the land stayed in the Naryshkin family for about 175 years.
        • Before that Fili was a royal hunting ground, where Alexei Mikhailovich hunted.
        • The last owner of the estate was the manufacturer and publisher Kozma Soldatyonkov, who bought it in 1869.
        • The park contains the Kuntsevo hillfort, one of the oldest fortified settlements in Moscow: the Vyatichi lived here in the 11th–13th centuries, and the rampart and ditch survive.
        • The park stretches 5 km along the Moskva River and covers 280 hectares.
        • As late as the 1970s elk were seen in the park, and Muscovites came here to pick mushrooms.
