Religious sites

Naro-Fominsk, whose attractions are famous for a large number of temples and churches, offers visitors a tourist route through religious sites.

They are:

1. Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. The facility was founded in the 19th century during the 40th anniversary of the victory in the Patriotic War. At the beginning of the 20th century, poor people were received in the church building, and during the Second World War the facility was robbed. The military events affected the condition of the church; its walls were marked by shelling, and everything inside was destroyed. After the war, the building was restored and turned into a historical museum telling about the events of past years. Only in 1989 a religious site appeared here again; a cross and domes were installed on the building. Today there is an evening school here, which can be attended by both adults and children. On the territory of the church there is a library and a carpentry workshop. The Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker is located on Victory Square, and you can visit it on any convenient day.
2. Church of St. Michael the Archangel. The church was erected in 1790. Prince Shirinsky-Shakhmatov was buried in the church. During Soviet times, there was a store here; after the collapse of the USSR, the building gradually collapsed. Thanks to the attention of local residents, the church was restored. Today rituals and services are held here. The facility is located in the village of Arkhangelsk.

3. Sergievskaya Church. The facility was built by order of Lopukhin, a local boyar. The church is located on the shore of a pond, which Lopukhin also ordered to dig. During the Soviet period, the work of the church was suspended; they wanted to build a farm in its place. Since the early 2000s, restoration work has been carried out here, and today rituals and services are held in the church. The facility is located in the village of Mogutovo. You can visit the temple on weekdays from 9 to 5 o’clock.

Zosimova Pustyn

In 1826, Elder Zosim founded a monastery, which was built with donations from the Lepeshkin merchants from Moscow. Zosim is a representative of the old noble family of the Verkhovskys (Smolensk province). After his death (1833), the Church of the Life-Giving Trinity was erected over the elder’s grave.

The construction of the monastery was finally completed in 1856. In 1928 the monastery was closed. Many of its buildings were destroyed. Initially, on the territory of the monastery there were: the Temple in honor of John the Baptist, located at the refectory, the gate church of the icon of the Mother of God, and the Trinity Cathedral.

In 1999, the monastery was reopened, however, the gate temple was not preserved. In March 2000, the monastery was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church.

Dimitrievskaya Church

Many city attractions are still of great interest to historians. Naro-Fominsk attracts researchers with its ancient religious buildings. A special place among them is occupied by the Demetrius Church in Dubrovo.

It was built in the 14th century by Dmitry Donskoy, in honor of the Great Martyr Demetrius of Thessalonica. The stone temple, which now stands on the banks of the Protva, was built by the priest-brothers Pshenichnikov (1896) in the pseudo-Russian style, according to the design of the architect A. Nikiforov. This is a single-domed quadrangle with a refectory, connected to the base of a tent-roofed (two-tier) bell tower.

In 1930 the temple was closed. Since 1994, a large-scale restoration has been carried out here, and in 2003 the cathedral was completely restored.

Estates

In the vicinity of the city there are preserved estates belonging to active figures from different times:

1. Lyubanovo estate. The object was built in the 20th century by the architect Behrens. The owner of the building was Karl von Schliepe. It is located on the banks of the Nara River. The building was made in Art Nouveau style, and to this day its residential part remains decorated. The kitchen, bedrooms and bathhouse with laundry room have been preserved here. On the territory of the spectacular building there is a park and a ruined grotto. At the beginning of the 20th century, there was a hospital for revolutionary figures in the estate. Dzerzhinsky was treated for tuberculosis here for a long time. After a while, the hospital was closed, and in its place a school for local children was formed. Today the estate is at the disposal of the municipal library. You can visit the building on weekdays; it is located in the village of Lyubanovo.

2. Staro-Nikolskoye estate . The building was erected in the 17th century. The owner of the property was Rtishchev, but after 1780 the owners changed regularly. Every year something new was added to the building's design. Today, the ancient gates, an outbuilding, and the architectural features of a two-story house have been preserved on the territory of the estate. In Soviet times, there was a store here; in 2011, there was a serious fire in the house and the building was badly damaged. Restoration work was carried out for about a year; the authorities wanted to preserve the original appearance of the estate. Today there are various exhibitions and expositions here, offering insight into the events of past years. In the future, it is planned to organize an exhibition telling about the history of the Staro-Nikolskaya estate. The ancient property is located in the Naro-Fominsk region, in the village of Pervomaiskoye. Visits are available on weekdays.
3. Spas-Kositsy estate . The facility was founded in 1761 for Count Shuvalov. Following its installation, a small church was built here. Today it is the only building remaining on the property. The historical place is considered an architectural monument. The remaining temple was practically not restored; today it is in a dilapidated state. Despite this, church rites and services are performed here to this day. During World War II, German soldiers kept Russian hostages in the church and wanted to burn them. Domestic soldiers took timely measures, and the villagers were soon freed from captivity. A memorial was erected in honor of the brave and courageous deed of the soldiers.

You can get to the estate on weekdays; it is located in the village of Spas-Kositsy.
