Church of the Forty Martyrs of Sebaste
Church of the Forty Martyrs of Sebaste, Orthodox church in Tagansky District, Moscow, Russia
The stone structure features a semicircular apse, a refectory with two chapels, and a bell tower connected by a passageway.
Built in 1645 to replace a wooden church, the building suffered severe damage during Napoleon's invasion of Moscow in 1812.
The church contains three consecrated altars dedicated to the Forty Martyrs of Sebaste, Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker, and Saints Peter and Paul.
The church, located at 28 Dinamovskaya Street, holds regular religious services since 1992 after being closed for sixty years.
In 1812, priest Pyotr Venyaminov was killed by French soldiers for refusing to reveal where he had hidden the church's sacred vessels.
