Церковь Бориса и Глеба на Поварской, Eastern Orthodox church building at Povarskaya Street, Moscow, Russia
The Church of Boris and Gleb features classical architecture with a single dome and proportional symmetrical design elements reflecting 19th-century Russian religious construction.
Founded in 1635, the church underwent several reconstructions, including a complete rebuild between 1799 and 1802 funded by parishioner donations.
The church contained an icon of the Holy Face painted by Simon Ushakov, a notable Russian icon painter of the 17th century.
The building was demolished in 1936, and the site now houses the Gnessin Russian Academy of Music with a memorial sign installed in 2007.
The church's location influenced the naming of the current Borisoglebsky Lane in Moscow, preserving its memory in the city's topography.
