Church of the Intercession at Fili
Church of the Intercession at Fili, Orthodox church in Filyovsky Park District, Moscow, Russia
The Church of the Intercession displays Naryshkin Baroque architecture with intricate brick patterns across its five tiers and three open porches.
Lev Naryshkin, brother of Tsarina Natalia Kirillovna, commissioned the construction of this Orthodox church between 1690 and 1694 to replace a wooden structure.
The building houses two distinct spaces: the winter church of the Intercession on the ground floor and the upper church of the Holy Face.
The church reopened for visitors in September 2023 following a two-year restoration project that focused on preserving its structural elements and facades.
During World War II in 1941, the domes were removed to prevent German artillery from using the church as a targeting reference point.
