Church of Nativity of John the Baptist in Sokolniki

The Church of Nativity of John the Baptist features Russian Revival architecture with gilded onion domes, a belfry, and ornate exterior decorations in white stone materials.

Built in 1917, the church ceased operations in 1923 during a period of significant changes in the religious landscape of early Soviet Russia.

The church maintains a four-tiered iconostasis displaying religious art, while its choir performs traditional Orthodox liturgical music during services in multiple languages.

Located at Kolodezny Pereulok 2A Building 10, the church holds regular services including Saturday evening vigils and Sunday morning liturgies throughout the year.

The building combines traditional Russian Orthodox architectural elements with early 20th-century construction techniques, resulting in a structure that marks the end of pre-revolutionary church building.
