Church of the Life-Giving Trinity in Konkovo. Temple of the Life-Giving Trinity in Konkovo ​​Temple of the Life-Giving Trinity in Konkovo

The Church of the Holy Life-Giving Trinity in Konkovo ​​is located in the South-Western region of Moscow, included in the city in 1960. Previously, the village of Konkovo ​​was in the Sosensky camp of the Moscow district, 14 miles from Moscow along the Old (Big) Kaluga road. The temple was called Sergievsky, and only in 1991, upon renewal, was it consecrated in the name of the Holy Trinity.

In the XII century. there was a Slavic settlement on the site of modern Konkovo.

In the 17th century on the sides of the Old Kaluga road there were two villages - Konkovo-Sergievsky (Serino) and Konkovo-Troitskoye, and each of them had its own church. In the first - in the name of St. Sergius, Wonderworker of Radonezh, and in the second - in honor of the Life-Giving Trinity.

The earliest known owner of Sergievsky, which at that time was called the village of Serino "on the enemy", was the boyar Pyotr Nikitich Sheremetev, who was appointed governor in the rebellious Pskov in 1606. There, in the autumn of 1609, he was strangled in prison. In 1619-1620. the village of Serino was granted to the stolniks Fedor and Dmitry Mikhailovich Tolochanov. According to the inventory carried out in 1621-1627, in the village there was "a yard of landlords, and in the yard lives a clerk Romashka Grigoriev and business people Osipko Stepanov and Mishka Afonasiev." Since 1652, only F.M. Tolochanov remained the owner of the estate. His son Semyon Fedorovich Tolochanov built the current church in 1690, consecrated in the name of St. Sergius of Radonezh. After the church, the village began to be called Sergievsky.

About this, in the incoming salary book of the Patriarchal State Order, stored in the Moscow Archive of the Ministry of Justice, there is an entry: "in the past 7198 May on 21 days, by decree of the Great Sovereigns<Иоанна и Петра>and according to the note on the extract of Andrey Denisovich Vladykin, the newly built church of St. Sergius of Radonezh the miracle worker, which was built by the okolnichiy Semyon Fedorovich Tolochanov in the Moscow district, in Sosensky camp, in his patrimony, in the village of Serin, was ordered to be put on the priest with tribute clerks, according to the specified article, with yards of priests 4 money, deacon and prosvirnitsyn for money, from votchinnikov 6 money, from 20 yards of business people for money from the yard, but from memory from the Local Order, with the attribution of the clerk Anisim Nevezhin, which was sent to the Stone Order, about a certificate to that church from church land, from 10 quarters to 3 money from a quarter, from 10 hay hay to 2 money per hay, total tribute 13 alt. 1 day Arrival hryvnia. And in the current year 7202 (1694), by decree of the patriarch and on the basis of an extract from the treasurer of the elder Paisius of Siysk, it was ordered to take this money from that church from 7202 (1694). And February on the 20th day, that given money for the current year 7202 (1694) was taken; Iosif Yakovlev, a priestly protege, paid to that church, received Ivashko Neustroev.

The church was a manor, built in the style of "Naryshkin baroque", characterized by an abundance of decoration, splendor and grandeur. It included a small quadrangle of the temple, bearing an octagon and a cupola on a drum, from the northeast there was a rectangular altar, and, as experts believe, the same rectangular vestibule was on the opposite side. There was no refectory; there was no special bell tower, and the bells hung on the western wall of the church. There were choir stalls inside the wall and on the western side of them there was a window from which the ringing was made, in addition, a stone staircase to the choir stalls was arranged in it. The temple was placed as an altar to the northeast, on the Trinity-Sergius Lavra - the place of labor and exploits of St. Sergius, where his relics rest. According to legend, the monk visited the place where the village of Serino was located, and consecrated it with his prayers, wishing to found a monastery here. But according to a revelation from above that it would be crowded here, he went to Mount Mokovets.

Manor buildings at that time and later were wooden. In 1808 a warm refectory was added to the church.

Subsequently, the village belonged to the granddaughter of Semyon Tolochanov, Princess Nastasya Vasilievna Golitsyna, whose husband, Prince Sergei Alekseevich Golitsyn, was the Moscow governor under Empress Elizabeth Petrovna. Later the estate passed to their children.

Initially, there was no parish at the Sergius Church. Until 1771, the church was called a brownie, and since 1772 it became a parish, since two villages were assigned to it - Belyaevo-Dolnee and Derevlevo, which previously belonged to the Church of the Holy Trinity, on Sparrow Hills. Due to the remoteness and inconvenient communication, the parishioners of these villages asked the Moscow diocesan authorities to assign them to the church in the village of Sergievsky.

The population of the village of Sergievskoe in 1790 consisted of the courtyard people of the landowner Colonel Fyodor Ivanovich Boborykin, a total of 29 people in one yard, and three church yards. In the parish there were 19 courtyards of the village of Belyaevo and 20 courtyards of the village of Derevlevo, in total 116 male and 142 female souls.

In 1803, after the abolition of the state clergy of the church with. Konkova, her parishioners were also assigned to the village of Sergievskoye. According to the Economic Notes of 1769 of the Moscow district, No. 248, it says: "The village of Konkovo ​​is the property of Her Imperial Majesty: 13 courtyards 101 male souls. A stone church in honor of the Holy Life-Giving Trinity. A stone house with services, a regular garden and a menagerie." This estate was bought by the Empress Catherine as a result of the request of the peasants and their complaints about the cruel treatment of them by the landowner, and, in memory of their liberation, a stone obelisk was erected in the village of Konkovo, which was installed on the very spot where the Empress accepted the petition of the peasants. (The white-stone obelisk stood until 1972, then it was transferred to the Museum of Architecture in the Donskoy Monastery).

In the difficult time of 1812, the Trinity Church with. Konkovo ​​was destroyed by the French retreating along the old Kaluga road and, due to the impossibility of an amendment, in 1813, with the permission of the Moscow Diocesan authorities, it was completely dismantled; the remaining material from the Trinity Church was used to build a bell tower, a fence with holy gates and a church gatehouse at the church of the village of Sergievsky. The utensils and earth were also transferred to the temple of the village of Sergievsky.

In 1818, by the zeal of the landowner Alexei Fedorovich Ladyzhensky, on the left side in the refectory church of St. Sergius of Radonezh, a chapel was built in honor of the position of the Holy Robe of the Mother of God in Blachernae; before the establishment of a refectory, the parents of the landowner were buried in this place. The second chapel in the name of St. Philip, Metropolitan of Moscow, was built in 1848 at the expense of the Moscow merchant Ivan Filippovich Baklanov.

From the inventory of the month of October 1813 of the property of the temple of the village of Sergievsky, it can be seen that in 1813 there was a stone bell tower, on which there were 5 bells, of which the largest was 25 pounds, the second was 4 1/2, and the others were smaller than each other . From the same inventory it can be seen that until 1842 the donators for the temple and its decoration consisted of: Elena Alexandrovna Solekhenova, Ivan Mikhailovich Bonakov, Stepanida Fedorovna Anisimova, Pavel Nikolaev, Moscow merchant Maremyana Vasilievna Zhiltsova.
In 1821 a brick fence was built around the church.

Land at the church was 1 des. 1150 sq. soot., arable 28 dec. 1098 sq. soot, mowing 2052 sq. soot., under a birch grove 2 dess. 400 sq. soot., Yes, in the same birch grove under the cemetery 1 dess. 50 sq. with., under the Big Kaluga road 1160 sq. soot., under the semi-source 780 sq. sazh., and in total convenient and inconvenient land 33 dess. 1940 sq. soot., with the exception of inconvenient places of convenient land, 31 dess. 1150 sq. soot
The well-known historian I. Tokmakov clarifies that as of 1893, “the clergy have their own wooden houses, built on church land. The parish of the church in the village of Sergievskoye consists of parishioners of the aforementioned village (i.e. Sergievsky-Konkov) and villages: Dolnei-Belyaevo, Derevlevo, Brekhovo (Bryukhovo), includes 159 households, 439 souls, 454 residential settlements.<...>Among the shrines, especially locally revered, is the icon of St. Sergius, on which in the ark there is a part of the relics of the aforementioned saint, which is laid on the prayers during prayer singing. " As the same I. Tokmakov notes: "In 1830, 1847, 1848, the cholera disease mercilessly destroyed people. And in the parish of the church, St. Sergius of Radonezh, there were only 3 dead. Since then, in memory of the deliverance and preservation of the inhabitants from adversity, parishioners annually performed prayer singing to the locally revered image of St. Sergius of Radonezh, not only in the squares, but also in the homes of parishioners. The icon of St. Sergius by the inhabitants of those villages where cholera cruelly raged.

In 1895, the owner of the estate was Lieutenant-General N.F. Ladyzhensky. The last owners of the estate were the hereditary honorary citizens of the Iroshnikovs.

A colorful description of Sergievsky at the end of the 19th century. left by historian D.O. Schepping: "On the right side of the main road, opposite the Konkov yards, a birch grove with properly planted alleys flaunts on an elevated place, which probably belonged to the park of Count Vorontsov; now part of it is turned into a village cemetery. In the middle of the grove there is a large mound, and on the other side , on the slope of a large ravine, there are many low prehistoric mounds ... In this grove, there is a folk festival on July 5. Next comes the estate, now the merchant Iroshnikov, and the church of Sergius with church houses, but without peasant estates. On the walls and doors of the church are still visible traces of French bullets in 1812".

Sergievskoe and Konkovo ​​were famous for their apple and cherry orchards, "very rarely, as the same D.O. Shepping wrote, found in such abundance among our peasants near Moscow; and probably owing their origin to the former manor gardens."

In 1928 the temple was still active. By 1935, there are unique photographs that captured the appearance of the temple shortly before closing. In addition to the temple itself, the photographs show a two-story priest's house standing next to the south side, in which a parish school was opened since 1880, and since 1884 - an elementary zemstvo school, the trustee of which was the owner of the village. Narrow Prince P.N. Trubetskoy.

In the first years of Soviet power, the fate of the temple became similar to the fate of most churches: destruction, confiscation of valuables, desecration.

In these bitter times for our Motherland, the fight against God, 28 items of church utensils were seized from the temple: three crosses (large, medium and small), a monstrance, diskos, liars, asterisks, bowls, etc.

In 1939 the temple was closed. Its appearance was completely disfigured: the two upper tiers of the bell tower were destroyed, the head with a cross and the fence were dismantled. Bells, church utensils, icons and sacred books were taken out. The temple building was used as a state farm warehouse, in the priest's house there was an office of the Konkovo ​​state farm.

In 1960, the temple was included in the state lists of architectural monuments as a monument of the 17th century of federal significance under No. 402: "Trinity Church in Konkovo".

In 1967-1972. inside the temple there was a warehouse of the Television and Technical Center.

In 1972-1973. the church was examined by specialists of the All-Union Industrial Research and Restoration Combine of the USSR Ministry of Culture, at the same time a restoration project was completed (the chief architect of the project was S. Kravchenko) and restoration work began.

In 1982, the Television Center refused to lease the building of the temple and was released from responsibility for the safety of this monument, which was assigned to the regional authorities.

For a long time, the district authorities did nothing to save the church building, the destruction of which continued. In 1989, the temple was going to be transferred to the laboratory of the Institute of Physics of the Earth, which has already begun to carry out restoration, based on considerations of adapting the building for its own purposes. At this time, all communications were carried out to the temple.

In 1991, the temple was returned to believers.

St. Sergius of Radonezh.

At the end of the 17th century, the estate of Serino in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bmodern Konkovo ​​(then the area was called Sosensky camp) was owned by the son of the stolnik Fyodor Tolochanov - Semyon. It was he who, in 1690, started the construction of a stone house church in the Naryshkin baroque style in his village, completed by 1694 and consecrated in the name of Sergius, the miracle worker of Radonezh. Thanks to this temple, the village began to be called Sergievsky.

The temple did not have a bell tower at that time, but this does not mean at all that there were no bells either. It's just that the belfry was located right on the southern wall of the church, a staircase led to it from the choirs. The altar of the Sergius temple was directed strictly to the northeast, to the Trinity-Sergius monastery.

Some historians attribute the construction of this temple to G.I. Golovkin, pointing to his possession of the wasteland of Konkovo ​​in 1689. However, the Life-Giving Trinity already stood in Golovkin’s possessions at that time, so he did not need another church. It is the existence of this church that owes Trinity of the Life-Giving in Konkovo its present name and consecration.

Before painting

In 1772, due to the increase in the number of peasants assigned to the parish of St. Sergius Church, the church of St. Sergius of Radonezh became a parish church. At the beginning of the XIX century. (circa 1808) a warm stone refectory and a three-tiered stone bell tower were added to it, which had features of classicism, clearly dissonant with the baroque building of the main temple. During the construction, the graves of the former owners of the village, the Ladyzhensky spouses, were discovered, buried near the western wall of the church. Their son A.F. Ladyzhensky in 1818 arranged a refectory chapel over the grave of his parents on the left side in honor of the Deposition of the Holy Robe of the Mother of God in Blachernae (Deposition of the Robe), the altar of which was right above the graves.

Before transmission to believers

In 1803, the Konkovskaya Holy Trinity (Life-Giving Trinity) was also assigned to the Sergius parish. In 1812, it suffered so much from the French invasion that there was no point in restoring it. Therefore, the remains of the building were dismantled in 1821 and the resulting brick was used to build a fence around the Church of St. Sergius of Radonezh.

In 1848, the Moscow merchant Ivan Filippovich Baklanov donated a rather large amount to the Sergius Church for the construction of another (right) chapel - in the name of Metropolitan Philip of Moscow, who was the patron saint of Father Baklanov .

In the Sergius Church there was a particularly revered icon of St. Sergius with a piece of relics. It is she who is credited with the miraculous deliverance of the inhabitants of Konkovo ​​from the cholera epidemic that raged in those places in 1848. In the villages of the parish, only 3 people died of the disease, while in the neighboring villages entire yards died out.

In 1939, the godless authorities closed the church of St. Sergius of Radonezh and used it as a warehouse (at first a state farm, then a television center). Its appearance was disfigured, the altar was defiled, and the very name of the church was completely erased from people's memory, so that when Konkovo ​​entered the city limits in 1960, no one remembered who it was in honor of. Attempts to restore it as an architectural monument were sluggish and ineffective.

In 1990, when the temple was handed over to believers, no one remembered that Konkovo ​​consisted of two parts - Konkovo-Sergievsky and Konkovo ​​itself (Konkovo-Trinity), and in all ancient sources it was indicated that the Church of the Life-Giving Trinity stood in Konkovo. And so it happened that the Sergius temple was mistaken for a completely different one. So it was handed over to the Russian Orthodox Church - as the Church of the Holy Trinity in Konkovo. It was only later that the truth was revealed. Now the main altar of the temple is consecrated in the name of the Life-Giving Trinity, and the aisles - in the name of St. Rev. Sergius of Radonezh and the Deposition of the Robe.

The first liturgy was performed on Easter 1991. The restoration of the temple lasted for many years. In 1994, when the church was celebrating its 300th anniversary, a church image of St. Sergius. Only in 1998 did the gilded crosses shine above the restored church and the bell tower, the bells sounded.

In 1993, a sisterhood was created at the temple in the name of the Blachernae Icon of the Mother of God, whose special concern was the Orphanage No. 9 for orphans with disorders of the nervous system and the musculoskeletal system and the boarding school No. 7.

The settlement with the manor has been known since the beginning of the 17th century. The house temple in the style of "Naryshkino Baroque" was built in - years - either by G.I. Golovkin, or by the roundabout S.F. Tolochanov. Initially, the main altar was consecrated in honor of St. Sergius, the aisles - in honor of the Deposition of the Robe and the saint.

In the city of Trinity Church with. Konkovo ​​was destroyed by the French retreating along the old Kaluga road and, due to the impossibility of an amendment, in the city, with the permission of the Moscow diocesan authorities, it was completely dismantled; the remaining material from the Trinity Church was used for the construction of a bell tower, a fence with holy gates and a church gatehouse at the church with. Sergievsky. Utensils and earth were also transferred to the temple c. Sergievsky.

In the year, by the zeal of the landowner Alexei Fedorovich Ladyzhensky, on the left side in the refectory church of St. Sergius of Radonezh, a chapel was built in honor of the position of the Holy Robe of the Mother of God in Blachernae; before the establishment of a refectory, the parents of the landowner were buried in this place. The second chapel in the name of St. Philip, Metropolitan of Moscow, was built in the city at the expense of the Moscow merchant Ivan Filippovich Baklanov.

In the year a brick fence was built around the church.

The church was closed during the year. Its appearance was completely disfigured: the two upper tiers of the bell tower were destroyed, the head with a cross and the fence were dismantled. Bells, church utensils, icons and sacred books were taken out. The temple building was used as a state farm warehouse, in the priest's house there was an office of the Konkovo ​​state farm.

In the city of Konkovo, the district entered the city of Moscow, the temple was included in the state lists of architectural monuments as a monument of the 17th century of federal significance under No. 402: "Trinity Church in Konkovo".

In - gg. inside the temple there was a warehouse of the Television and Technical Center.

In - gg. the church was examined by specialists of the All-Union Industrial Research and Restoration Combine of the USSR Ministry of Culture, at the same time a restoration project was completed (the chief architect of the project was S. Kravchenko) and restoration work began.

In the city, the Television Center refused to lease the building of the temple and was released from responsibility for the safety of this monument, which was assigned to the regional authorities.

For a long time, the district authorities did nothing to save the church building, the destruction of which continued.

In the city, the temple was going to be transferred to the laboratory of the Institute of Physics of the Earth, which has already begun to carry out restoration, based on considerations of adapting the building for its own purposes. At this time, all communications were carried out to the temple.
