A church in Fili. Церковь в Филях


  Photos from 2007, May and November. This is the Church of Intercession in Fili, Moscow. I often saw it on my way to university. You can read about this church here. I think it's a beautiful and interesting building.
  Фотки 2007 года, май и ноябрь. Это Церковь Покрова в Филях, по пути в мой универ. По-моему, очень необычное и красивое здание. Можно почитать о ней здесь.

This church was built in 1690-1694.
Церковь была построена в 1690-1694.





I especially like its stairs.
Особенно нравятся лестницы.

I like wrought iron stuff ^.^
Люблю всякую чугунную ковку :)











  How many times I had to almost run past this church, because again I was late for lectures... :D
  Сколько раз я мимо неё чуть ли не бежала, в очередной раз опаздывая на лекции... :D

  3. Magnificent but also a bit forbidding. Not a wedding venue. Or is my imagination running away from me again? ^^

    1. Orthodox churches often seem forbidding to me. They are too serious ^^ Not like Finnish Lutheran churches where they hold music events or your quirky Japanese temples with sexy daikons ^^
