Church of Saints Sofia and Tatiana of Rome at Filatov Pediatric Clinical Hospital, Eastern Orthodox church at Filatov Pediatric Clinical Hospital, Presnensky District, Russia
The Church of Saints Sofia and Tatiana is an Eastern Orthodox chapel located within the Filatov Pediatric Clinical Hospital compound in the Presnensky District. It features a central dome and decorative elements in the Byzantine Revival style typical of the late 1800s.
The building was constructed in 1892 as part of the hospital's development, serving both patients and medical staff with spiritual care. Its establishment reflected a broader approach to healthcare that combined medical treatment with religious support.
The interior displays traditional Orthodox iconography and religious artwork that tells biblical stories. You can observe people coming here to pray for themselves and for hospital patients, making it an active place of faith.
The church is accessible within the hospital grounds and remains open during the week for prayer and visits. You can reach it easily by following the signs near Sadovaya-Kudrinskaya Street and the main hospital entrance.
The chapel has served a dual role since its founding, functioning as both a neighborhood religious center and an integral part of hospital chaplaincy. This combination of medical and spiritual care in one place is uncommon in Moscow's modern landscape.
