Church of Trinity in Kozhevniki, Orthodox church in Danilovsky District, Moscow, Russia
The Church of Trinity in Kozhevniki is a stone church building with several domes and a prominent bell tower situated in the Danilovsky District. The structure features traditional Orthodox design with thick walls and a vertical form that stands above the neighboring buildings.
The stone church was constructed between 1686 and 1689, replacing an earlier wooden structure that had stood since 1625. The distinctive bell tower was added later in 1772, completing the architectural form we see today.
The church serves the local Orthodox community as a gathering place for religious services and celebrations throughout the year. People come here to experience traditional Eastern Orthodox worship in a setting that has held religious significance for centuries.
The church is accessible near 2nd Kozhevnicheskiy Lane and can be reached on foot, with its tall tower visible as a landmark from nearby streets. Visitors should remember this is an active place of worship where respectful behavior is expected.
The building shows an interesting layering of two construction periods: the original stone structure dates to the late 1680s, while the bell tower was added about 100 years later. This makes it a real example of how churches in Moscow were enlarged and improved over generations.
