Description
The Rogozhskoe belltower is a multi-level structure built with white stone and red brick in Russian Revival style. It stands with five distinct tiers that rise above the cemetery grounds.
History
The cemetery was established in 1771 when Moscow authorities designated this location outside the city for burials during a plague outbreak. The belltower was constructed in the early 1900s.
Culture
The belltower sits within a cemetery that served as a gathering place for Old Believers to practice their faith away from the main church authorities. Visitors can observe how this community expressed their religious identity through the building and the spaces around it.
Practical
The building is accessible by public transportation, and visitors should dress respectfully with covered hair for women and modest clothing overall. The site requires respect for its religious and protected heritage status.

The tower serves not only as a religious landmark but also houses administrative spaces and a chapel inside its structure. This dual function made it an important hub for the community.
