Church of the Intercession at Fili is a Naryshkin baroque church
commissioned by the boyar Lev Naryshkin in his surburban estate
which has been part of the metropolitan area of Moscow since 1925.
The church was constructed between 1693 and 1694 in the shape of a
Greek cross, with short, rounded annexes. Located near the Bolshaya
Filyovskaya street. Naryshkin's nephew Peter the Great attended
services at the church on a number of occasions. During Napoleon's
invasion of Russia, the French devoted the church to the decidedly
less-secular purpose of a tailor's workshop and stables. Today the
church has been turned into a museum of Muscovite baroque. |
