Church of the Renewal of the Temple of the Resurrection at Vagankovo Cemetery

The Church of the Renewal stands within Vagankovo Cemetery, featuring Empire style architecture with classical elements and traditional Russian religious motifs.

Built in 1819, this religious structure emerged during a period when Moscow expanded its burial grounds beyond city limits due to health regulations.

The temple functions as both a religious center and a memorial space, connecting to the graves of numerous Russian artists, writers, and public figures.

Visitors can locate the church at Sergeya Makeeva Street 15, Building 1, within the extensive grounds of Vagankovo Cemetery in northwestern Moscow.

This federal cultural heritage site maintains its position as an active religious center while preserving the memory of over 500,000 individuals buried from 1771 to 1990.
