Church of the Theotokos of the Sign in Sheremetev Dvor
Church of the Theotokos of the Sign in Sheremetev Dvor, Eastern Orthodox church in Arbat District, Moscow, Russia.
The Church of the Theotokos of the Sign in Sheremetev Dvor is an Orthodox church made of brick in Moscow's Arbat District, built in Russian Baroque style. Its exterior features symmetrical proportions and ornate stone details that define the facade.
The church was built in 1704 during a period of religious architectural development in Moscow. It remained in continuous operation until its closure in 1929.
The church is named after the Theotokos of the Sign, reflecting how Orthodox believers venerate Mary as the mother of God in their faith traditions. People gather here to experience this sacred meaning in a working religious space.
The church can be reached via Romanov Lane 2/6 in central Moscow's historic district, located at coordinates 55°45'14"N, 37°36'34"E. You can explore this area on foot and discover the surroundings of the former Sheremetev Dvor estate.
The building has been the subject of restoration efforts even after 1929 to preserve its Russian Baroque features from the early 18th century. These conservation efforts make it a special example of how Moscow protects its heritage.
