Church of Gregory Thaumaturgus

Tsar Alexis I financed the construction of this church, which lasted from 1668 to 1679. It is surmounted by five traditional domes from the 17th century. The earthenware tiles that decorate the interior were made by a Belarus master. The icons were made by iconographer painter Simon Ouchakov. Shut down in 1939, a part of its icons were transferred to the Tretyakov Gallery and to the History Museum. Now it has been entirely restored. Church service resumed in 1996.
