Moscow The Church of St. Blessed Princes Boris and Gleb. Perekopskaya Street, 7. ![]() The church was built in 1688 - 1704 (architect - Yakov Bukhvostov) in the country estate of the associate of Peter the Great Boyar B.I. Prozorovsky, in the village of Zyuzino which became to be called as Borisovskoe after that. The lower warm temple was consecrated in 1688 and the upper temple – in 1704. In 1879 the bell tower was attached. The church is built in Moscow baroque style. It is two-storeyed, three-domed. The quadrangular building is located on a high basement with two stairs. Above the basement there are two octagonal levels (the upper level is the belfry, “for chime”) and cupolas crowned with the octagonal tholobate. To the main building from the sides the quadrangular (with the cut angles outside) altar jog and forechurch crowned with cupolas join. It is decorated with the arched niches, three-quarter columns and figured ridges. In 1938 the church was closed, robbed and neglected. The carved iconostasis in the style of Moscow baroque was destructed. The four-column bell tower with the open belfry was destroyed. The church was rebuilt for the warehouses, it was occupied by institutions, workshop and archive. In the 1960-ies and from 1979 it was under restoration (architect - K.G. Polunina). In July in 1989 divine services were resumed. |
