Church of Saint Maximus the Confessor in Varvarka
Church of Saint Maximus the Confessor in Varvarka, Orthodox temple in Tverskoy District, Russia.
The Church of Saint Maximus the Confessor stands on Varvarka Street, featuring a rectangular structure with one dome built upon a high basement.
In 1698, merchants Maxim Sharovnikov and Maxim Verkhovitinov commissioned the construction of this stone church, replacing an earlier wooden structure from 1434.
The temple contains a high altar dedicated to Saint Maximus the Blessed and includes a side chapel for Saint Maximus the Confessor within its walls.
The church welcomes visitors and holds regular services since 1994, following its return to religious use after serving different purposes during Soviet times.
The southern facade of the church displays distinct architectural elements adapted to the sloped terrain, including decorative kokoshniks along the entablement.
