Église de l'Intercession-de-la-Vierge de Medvekovo, Eastern Orthodox church in Yuzhnoye Medvedkovo District, Russia.

The church features a symmetrical composition with moderate dimensions and two separate spaces for winter and summer worship services.

Prince Dmitry Pozharsky founded this religious building in 1620 following the Russian victory against Polish-Lithuanian invaders.

The church houses religious services according to Old Believer traditions since 2003, maintaining historical Orthodox practices.

Regular liturgical ceremonies take place in both the winter church, dedicated to Our Lady of the Sign, and summer church for the Intercession.

This structure represents one of the last Moscow churches built with a tent-shaped roof before Patriarch Nikon prohibited this architectural style.
