The Church of the Dormition of the Theotokos in Gonchary is an Eastern Orthodox church built of white stone with multiple domes located near Goncharnaia Street in central Moscow. The structure displays traditional Russian Orthodox architectural features and occupies a significant position in the local urban landscape.

The church was built in 1654 and represents mid-17th century Russian Orthodox religious architecture. It has survived to the present day as a testament to the sacred building traditions of that era in Moscow.

The church honors the Virgin Mary through Orthodox worship and prayer that continues to draw believers who practice their faith here. This location reflects religious traditions that have been central to the neighborhood for generations.

The church is located at Goncharnaia Street 29/7 Building 1 and is accessible by public transport in this central area. Regular services are held throughout the week, so checking service times in advance is helpful for planning a visit.

During the Dormition feast on August 15, the church holds special ceremonies where flowers receive blessings following Orthodox tradition. This annual practice links ancient religious customs with the local community.
