the famous monument of Russian pseudo-Gothic of the 18th century in the village of Bykovo, Ramensky district, Moscow region. The church was built in 1789 in a mnogogothic style on the territory of the estate of M.M. Izmailova.


According to stylistic features, the project is attributed to V.I. Bazhenov. The temple has two floors. Outside, the church is lined with white stone. The bizarre combination of baroque and gothic forms recalls the work of the Czech Jan Santini. In the 1830s near the church a separate bell tower was built, designed in the same style as the temple itself. In the 1930s the church was closed. The temple building housed a garment factory, and later a warehouse. Only in 1989 the church was returned to believers
