Church of Saint George in Pskov Hill, Moscow, Eastern Orthodox church in Tverskoy District, Moscow, Russia.

The Church of Saint George on Pskov Hill is a five-domed Orthodox church on a rectangular plan, built in 1657–1658 on the site of an older Church of the Intercession of the Mother of God first mentioned in 1462, whose walls were partly incorporated. Its main altar is dedicated to the Intercession, while Saint George is the patron of a side altar. In 1818 a refectory and a neo-Gothic bell tower with Empire elements were added, contrasting with the main volume.

A Church of the Intercession of the Mother of God was first mentioned in 1462 on Pskov Hill, a settlement of Pskov natives brought to Moscow by Grand Prince Vasily III. The present five-domed church was built in 1657–1658, reusing part of the older walls, with the Intercession as main altar and Saint George as side chapel. After the 1812 fire it was rebuilt and enlarged in 1818 with a neo-Gothic bell tower and a large vestibule; a second side chapel of Saint Peter was added in 1837. Closed after 1917 and used as a warehouse, it was restored in 1965–1972 and returned to the Russian Orthodox Church in 1991, with services from 1995.

The main altar is dedicated to the Intercession of the Mother of God, while Saint George gives his name to a side altar, a dedication kept from the older church on the site. The church holds a reliquary with relics of Saint George and a copy of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God. It forms part of the Patriarchal metochion of Zaryadye with five neighbouring churches.

The building is located on Varvarka Street and is easily accessible through the Tverskoy District. Visitors should check ahead to confirm access times, as it operates as a protected historical site with specific conditions.

The 1818 bell tower is neo-Gothic with Empire-style elements, deliberately contrasting with the five-domed 17th-century church. The main altar is dedicated to the Intercession of the Mother of God, while Saint George is only the patron of a side altar, a detail many visitors miss.
