🕌🕌🕌 Menshikov Tower (Russian: Меншикова башня), also known as the Church of Archangel Gabriel, is a Baroque Russian Orthodox Church in Basmanny District of Moscow, within the Boulevard Ring. The church was initially built in 1707 to order of Alexander Menshikov by Ivan Zarudny assisted by Domenico Trezzini, a team of Italian-Swiss craftsmen from Ticino and Fribourg cantons and Russian stonemasons from Kostroma and Yaroslavl. The earliest extant Petrine Baroque building in Moscow, Menshikov Tower was substantially altered in the 1770s. The church traditionally functioned in summer only; in winter the congregation assembled in nearby Church of Theodor Stratelates, built in 1782–1806. Church of Saint Theodore also provides the bells for ritual ringing: despite its height, Menshikov Tower does not have bells.

The most amazing early morning service, by the head priest father Niphon. He has such a divine voice, and so charismatic. Exactly how it should be. Church prayers at their best

One of my favorite in Moscow. It is very cosy, quiet and tranquile. No surprise - it is more than 300 y.o. After recent renovation the interior became filled with light. Come visit and you won't regret!

I love this temple very much. It contains the miraculous icon "Unexpected Joy". This is the Antioch courtyard.

Very beautiful, majestic. Quiet and comfortable, you can pray and just enjoy the silence. The soul is resting.
