Сергиевское-Коньково, Historic estate in Konkovo District, Russia
Sergievskoye-Konkovo is a former village and estate on the right side of the old Kaluga road south of Moscow, in today's Konkovo district. Its Church of St Sergius of Radonezh, built by Semyon Tolochanov, and a white-stone obelisk of the second half of the 18th century are what remain of the estate.
In the late 16th century the village of Serina belonged to Pyotr Nikitich Sheremetev; by 1627 it was a pomestie of the Tolochanov brothers. Semyon Tolochanov built the Church of Sergius of Radonezh, after which the village was renamed Sergievskoye. In 1710 Anastasia Tolochanova married Prince Sergei Golitsyn, and the estate passed to the Golitsyns. In 1960 the merged village of Konkovo became part of Moscow.
The village took its name from the Church of Sergius of Radonezh, built by Semyon Tolochanov in the 1670s. In 1818 Alexander Ladyzhensky added a side chapel over his parents' grave in front of the church; the burial was removed during a later restoration. The church was shared with the neighbouring village from 1813.
The grounds are located near Moscow metro stations Konkovo and Kaluzhskaya, making them easily accessible by public transportation. Guided visits are regularly offered by local heritage organizations, providing deeper context about the site's history and structures.
In 1869 the historian D. O. Shepping and the archaeologist A. A. Gattsuk excavated Slavic burial mounds near the village, and Shepping later drew a sketch of Sergievskoye and described its surroundings. The white-stone obelisk from the second half of the 18th century that stood at the estate is now kept at the Donskoy Monastery in Moscow.
