Saint Irene Church in Pokrovskoye, Eastern Orthodox church building in Basmanny District, Moscow, Russia

Saint Irene Church in Pokrovskoye is a brick building displaying Neoclassical style with symmetrical proportions and traditional Orthodox design elements. The structure showcases balanced architectural forms characteristic of 18th-century Russian religious construction.

A side chapel of Saint Irene was consecrated in the village's Saint Nicholas church in 1635, marking the birth of Tsar Mikhail Fyodorovich's daughter Irina. After a fire in 1763, parishioners funded a wooden church; the stone church with the Trinity altar and Irene and Catherine chapels was built between 1790 and 1800. It was closed by Soviet authorities in 1927, and its bells were melted down for the statues on the Rumyantsev Library facade. Returned to the Russian Orthodox Church in 1992, it became a Patriarchal courtyard on 10 October 2013.

The church keeps a working aromalaboratory where old incense recipes are studied and the Irininsky incense is made. A Sunday school, catechism courses, English classes, a computer room, floristry and drawing circles, and the Higher Orthodox Courses "So-deystvie" with icon-painting, church-singing and vestment-sewing departments operate here. Since 10 October 2013 it has been a Patriarchal courtyard and the Moscow representation of the Belarusian Exarchate.

The building is located near Friedrikh Engels Street in central Moscow and is easily accessible by foot from nearby areas. It is helpful to check access times beforehand, as this is a cultural monument with varying visitor hours.

The church bells were melted down after the 1927 closure, and that metal was used to cast the statues and bas-reliefs on the facade of the Rumyantsev Library (now the Russian State Library). The building also housed a Voroshilov sharpshooters' shooting range, a factory and a food depot.
