Church of All Saints, Moscow

Church of All Saints in Kulishki (a suburb of Moscow) – one of the oldest churches in Moscow.
The first wooden church was built here in 1380, and completely rebuilt in stone in 1488 and again
in the Muscovite Baroque style in 1687-89. The church was closed in 1930 and used as a place of
execution by Stalin’s secret police (NKVD). It was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church in 1991,
and a cross was placed here in 1994 in memory of victims of repressions.
