This is a late 17th-century parish church of a former weavers sloboda of Moscow. The church is a federal listed memorial building. The church yard occupies a whole block between Leo Tolstoy and Timur Frunze streets and includes a row of small old houses. The church is an example of late Muscovite Baroque that preceded short-lived Naryshkin Baroque of 1690s. It belongs to a numerous class of bonfire temples – church buildings without three internal load-bearing columns, crowned with layers of small circular kokoshnik-type gables, decorated by angels or seraphs.
