Church of Our Merciful Saviour, Eastern Orthodox church in Tverskoy District, Russia

The Church of Our Merciful Saviour is a red-brick, five-domed Orthodox church in the Russian style of Alexander III's era, built by architect Ivan Vladimirov and completed after his death by Pyotr Vinogradov. It is the only surviving church of the former Skorbyashchensky Monastery. Inside it held a four-tier iconostasis and finely worked icon cases; its three altars are dedicated to the Merciful Saviour, the Mother of God Quick to Hear, and the Twelve Apostles.

The red-brick, five-domed church was laid in 1889 and consecrated in 1894, designed by architect Ivan Vladimirov and completed after his death by Pyotr Vinogradov. It was renovated and re-consecrated on 3 October 1910 by Metropolitan Vladimir in the presence of Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna. After closure it was transferred to the Stankin institute, and in the 1970s it was saved from demolition for an computer centre thanks to public intervention and Ilya Glazunov. In 1995 the former monastery cells at Novoslobodskaya 58s5 were returned to the parish.

The main five-domed cathedral is no longer used for worship; services are held in the house church of the Merciful Saviour, set up in the former handicraft building at Novoslobodskaya Street 58k5. Since February 2010 the parish has run a public movement working with orphaned children, and biblical meetings for young people and adults take place at the church.

The cathedral itself is not in use; services are held in the house church of the Merciful Saviour in the former handicraft building at Novoslobodskaya Street 58k5. The red-brick five-domed cathedral stands on the same convent grounds in the Tverskoy District. Look for the four-tiered iconostasis and carved icon cases inside the cathedral.

In the 1970s the cathedral was slated for demolition to make way for a computer centre building; it survived thanks to public pressure and the personal intervention of painter Ilya Glazunov. In 2019 the building was transferred to the parish by the Moscow territorial office of Rosimushchestvo.
