Krutitsy Patriarchal Metochion
Krutitsy Patriarchal Metochion, Orthodox architectural complex in Tagansky District, Moscow, Russia
The Krutitsy Patriarchal Metochion consists of multiple religious buildings arranged around the Cathedral of the Assumption, featuring traditional Russian onion domes and detailed frescoes.
Founded in 1667 as a residence for bishops, the complex became a significant religious center and survived numerous historical transformations throughout Russian imperial and Soviet periods.
The metochion functions as both an active religious center and a museum, displaying centuries of Russian ecclesiastical traditions through its architecture and religious artifacts.
Located near Taganskaya metro station, the complex maintains regular visiting hours from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with guided tours available in multiple languages.
During the 17th century, the complex earned the name House of Wisdom as it contained the first scientific society that produced dictionaries and encyclopedias.
