Church of the Transfiguration in Tushino

The Church of the Transfiguration is an Eastern Orthodox house of worship with neoclassical design and a prominent dome located in northern Moscow. The building features symmetrical lines and a light-colored exterior that makes it stand out from its residential surroundings.

The site originates from a 14th-century monastery and underwent major reconstruction from 1886 to 1888. During the Soviet era the building served as a factory before resuming its religious purpose starting in 1990.

The church maintains Eastern Orthodox traditions through religious services, ceremonies, and architectural elements that represent Orthodox Christian symbolism.

The church is located on Volokolamskoe Shosse and is open to visitors. The nearest metro station Schukinskaya is within walking distance and provides convenient access to the site.

After serving as a factory during Soviet times, the church reopened in 1990 and completed restoration in 1994, returning to its religious function.
