Nativity Church in the Kremlin
Nativity Church in the Kremlin, Orthodox church in Tverskoy District, Moscow, Russia.
The Nativity Church in the Kremlin is an Orthodox stone church building constructed with two functional levels. The upper floor was dedicated to the Nativity, while the lower section contained the Chapel of Lazarus.
The church was founded in 1393 and replaced an older wooden structure originally dedicated to Saint Lazarus. It owes its establishment to a donation from Eudoxia of Moscow, widow of a major princely figure.
The church served as a gathering place for Moscow's inhabitants during the tsarist period. It hosted important religious celebrations and drew worshippers from the surrounding district.
The church is located within the historic Kremlin area and is accessible to visitors exploring the grounds. Allow time to observe both the interior and the exterior stone facade.
The building combines architectural elements from two different Russian building styles, showcasing the transitional approach between older and newer construction methods. This mixture is rarely seen in Moscow architecture of that period.
