Church of the Savior on Bolvany, Eastern Orthodox church in Zamoskvorechye District, Russia.

The Church of the Savior on Bolvany features baroque architecture with traditional Orthodox design elements, displaying characteristic features of 18th-century Russian religious buildings.

The site gained prominence in 1465 when Ivan III destroyed a Tatar monument and established an Orthodox church, marking Moscow's independence from the Golden Horde.

The church preserves religious traditions through its regular services, Orthodox ceremonies, and religious education programs for the local Moscow community.

Located at Second Novokuznetsky Lane 10, the church maintains a wooden bell tower from the 1990s and welcomes visitors during designated prayer times.

The name Bolvanovka stems from the Russian term 'bolvan', referring to ancient Tatar monuments that once stood in this area of Moscow.
