DescriptionChurch of the Nativity of the Theotokos in Putinki 30.jpg
One of the most picturesque churches in Moscow and the last major tent-like church in the history of Russian architecture. The French architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc was so impressed with its design that he dubbed it "Russian Gothic".
The church was commissioned by Tsar Alexis Mikhailovich in 1649 in order to grace a highway leading from Moscow to the Trinity Monastery. Construction works were completed within three years. As the story goes, Patriarch Nikon, when passing the church on his way to the Trinity Monastery, was so scandalized by its unorthodox design that he prohibited the construction of tent-like churches altogether.
The Soviet authorities closed the church in 1938 but they also funded repair works in 1957. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the church was reopened as the patriarch's metochion.
