The other day I managed to visit a wonderful place near Moscow - the village of Komyagino, Pushkin district, on the Skalba river (a tributary of the Ucha river - a tributary of the Klyazma) - on the border with the Shchelkovsky district of the Moscow region. Our ultimate goal was stone miracle Moscow region - the Church of St. Sergius of Radonezh, built in 1678...

We got to it on foot from the Ivanteevka railway platform on the Moscow (Yaroslavsky Station)-Fryazino line. Our route lay along Trudovaya Street, then Shkolnaya (parallel to Novoselki-Slobodka Street) and, after crossing the street. Novoselki on Kolkhoznaya Street.


Continuing along Kolkhoznaya we left Ivanteevka...


We took several left turns to an abandoned military base...


Apparently, radar troops...


We passed the entrance to the territory of the MAMI pioneer camp "Flight"...


And then Komyagin’s buildings appeared in the distance...


With the most interesting Church XVII century.

I'll give it right away information for pilgrims and tourists. The temple is open 24 hours a day, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. At lunchtime from 13.00-14.00 the temple is cleaned, so it is not always possible to get into the main room, but the chapel is open.

Oddly enough, historical information about the village is usually limited to history Sergievsky Church. Let's try to fill this omission.

I was able to establish that Komyagino was first mentioned in the List from the scribe book of 1584-1586 letters and measures of Timofey Khlopov and his comrades as wasteland of Konyaevo Bokhov camp of the Moscow district. The wasteland, together with the village of Pushkino on Ucha, belonged to the metropolitan lands from time immemorial - in those days, Metropolitan of Moscow and All Rus' Dionysius (d. 1587), under whom Ivan the Terrible died in 1584 and Feodor I Ioannovich, nicknamed the Blessed, was crowned king.

The origin of the name of the wasteland is beyond doubt. In December 1490, the year of his elevation to the metropolitan see, Metropolitan of All Rus' Zosima Bradaty (d. 1496) granted some of his “metropolitan beekeepers” lands and villages in the Bokhov and Radonezh camps. Among these beekeepers - leaders of large artels of collectors of valuable goods - honey and wax, we find the names of Andreika and Ivanka Konyaev: “Behold, Zosima, Metropolitan of All Rus', has granted the house church of the Holy Mother of God and his metropolitan beekeepers /.../ Andreyk Konyaev, and his brother Ivashka... the church lands of the Most Pure Mother of God and his metropolitan lands.” .

In those ancient times, this region was covered with dense primeval forest and it is known for certain that one of the most common trades was beekeeping, or, more precisely, beekeeping. We can find numerous settlements of beekeepers of the late 15th century in the neighboring Shchelkovsky district (for example, the village of Ignatieva-Zhizhneeva south of Shchelkovo, etc.).

It is known that the type of local land grant was a form of payment for the labor of metropolitan service people, similar to the “land salary” of the Grand Duke’s service people. The estate was given “up to the belly” and after the death of the owners it returned to the possession of the metropolitan. Everywhere in the Moscow region, lands received their names from the names of their owners. This is how Konyaevo appeared on the map, and later, having undergone a number of changes, it turned into Komyagino.

One has only to add that, according to the authoritative opinion of a number of researchers, it was Metropolitan Zosima who authored the concept of “Moscow-Third Rome”, set out in the preface to his work “Exposition of Paschal” compiled in 1492.

It is interesting that local legend records a different version of the origin of the toponym “Komyagino”, dating it back to the period before 1345 (year of foundation of the Trinity-Sergius Monastery). They say that there used to be two settlements here - one was called Sergievo, and the other was Komyagino. Sergius of Radonezh himself allegedly settled in the place of Sergiev, dug a dugout here on the slope of a ravine. Due to some conflict with the residents of Komyagino, which allegedly threw clods of earth at the saint (= Komyagino), St. Sergius moved from here to Radonezh, where he subsequently founded the Trinity-Sergius Monastery.

But let's return from this in our own way interesting legend to historical truth...

The stone church, illuminated in the name of Sergius of Radonezh in the village of Komyagino, was first mentioned in the census books of the Moscow district of Bokhov Stan for 1678 (7186). It is known for sure that the temple was built in 1678 and the following year, 1679, it was consecrated and subject to church tribute. The receipt book of the Patriarchal Order stated: "in the current 187 (1679) year of January 9th, by decree of the patriarch and according to the note on the extract of clerk Perfiliy Semennikov, a tribute was imposed on the newly built church of St. Sergius of Radonezh in the Moscow district, in Bokhov camp, which was the village of Sergeevo, and formerly the wasteland of Komyagino , on the river on Skalba, in the estate of the steward Nikita Ivanov, son of Akinfov" .

According to usual practice, locality often changed its first name if a church was built in it. Interestingly, the above document indicates that the church was “newly built” in the village of Sergeev, which hints at the existence of a pre-stone - wooden church. In other words, the former wasteland received the name "Sergeevo" before construction stone temple and its consecration in the name of Sergius of Radonezh. This circumstance can only indicate that before the construction of the stone temple, there was a wooden temple in its place, also consecrated to the same name.


This opinion is confirmed in documents of that time. Village Sergeevo (therefore, with the wooden temple of Sergius of Radonezh) was settled in 1646 by peasants transferred here from the estates of Nikita Ivanovich Akinfov - the village of Fomkina, Kostroma district, the village of Klobukova, Yuryevsky district, the village of Trekh-Prudok and the village of Terekhovets, Vologda district. The rural estate of the patrimonial estate was mentioned here in the same 1646.

Along with the construction of the stone temple, the village was also rebuilt. A separate estate with a church gradually merged with the village of Komyagino. In 1678, in the village there were 6 peasants (26 souls of both sexes) and 4 households of “bobyls” (hired seasonal workers or artisans) (23 bobyls). The following year, 1679, in the village of Sergievo-Komyagino there was a votchinnik’s own courtyard (the forerunner of the estate), a priest’s courtyard, already 11 courtyards of “young” serf peasants and 4 “bobylsky” courtyards. Let us add that serfs were divided into three groups - the best, the average and the “young” (low-power). Depending on this, taxes were distributed, which the peasants annually contributed to the treasury through their owner. It should be assumed that these “bobyls” were the builders of the stone temple.


Since at least 1646, the village belonged to the steward Nikita Ivanovich Akinfov. The document emphasized that the village was his “ancestral patrimony,” that is, inherited from his father, Ivan Fedorovich Akinfov (who owned the Komyagino wasteland until 1646).

Ivan Fedorovich Akinfov together with his older brother Arkhip (b. 1610, Krasnoyarsk voivode in 1629, died from 1640 to 1649) are mentioned as Moscow landowners since 1619. In 1623, the brothers are mentioned as the owners of the Altufyevo heathland near Moscow. The brothers are also mentioned in the Boyar Book of 1639. In 1643, Ivan Fedorovich Akinfov served as governor in the city of Shuya. In 1655, the steward and governor Ivan Fedorov, son of the Akinfs, was in Belgorod, where he held a review "children of boyars and all sorts of servicemen and tenants". In 1658, voivode Ivan Fedorovich Akinfov, together with voivode Vasily Grigorievich Romodanovsky, went on a military campaign near Azov against the Nogais of Kazyev ulus. According to some information, Ivan Akinfov later participated in one of the Russian embassies to Warsaw.

After the death of Ivan Fedorovich, his son Nikita, in addition to Sergievsky-Komyagin, also inherited Altufyevo, which at that time was already an estate with a manor house. Note that the Akinfovs' property Altufyevo became a village only 9 years after Komyagino - in 1687, when the Church of St. Sophia and her daughters Vera, Nadezhda and Lyubov was built at the estate, later reconsecrated in memory of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross.

How in the period 1586-ca. In 1623, Komyagino passed from the metropolitan lands to the estate of the Akinfovs - we don’t know yet. Apparently here it is worth remembering the possible exchange of metropolitan lands for lands of the grand ducal house. But for now, this is the subject of a separate study.


Let us turn to the biography of the builder of the St. Sergius Church.

Nikita Ivanovich Akinfov(died no earlier than 1723) was widowed early. From his first marriage, Nikita Ivanovich had a son, Grigory, and a daughter, Anna Nikitichna (d. 1735), in her first marriage to Prince Ivan Semenovich Lvov. Having been widowed, at the end of 1694, Anna Nikitichna married Prince Grigory Dmitrievich Yusupov (1676-1730) - a “comrade of childhood fun” of young Peter I, - a participant in the Azov campaigns, the battles of Lesnaya and Poltava... and... the owner of the village Spasskoye-Kotovo, which I recently wrote about on the pages of my blog.

For his second marriage, Nikita Ivanovich Akinfov was married to Aksinya Abramovna Lopukhina- daughter of Abraham Fedorovich Lopukhin (executed in 1718) (brother of the first wife of Peter I, mother of the notorious Tsarevich Alexei, Evdokia Fedorovna Lopukhina (1669-1731)).

The son of Nikita Ivanovich, Grigory Nikitich Akinfov was mentioned in 1682year as a room stalland died in 1708 (apparently died).

After, in connection with the case of Tsarevich Alexei "for some disagreements and suspicions" Queen Evdokia was exiled to the Suzdal-Pokrovsky Monastery (1699) and tonsured under the name of Elena, the Lopukhinas and their relatives fell into royal disgrace. Among those who fell under suspicion was the owner of Sergievsky-Komyagin. In 1718 he was arrested...

According to the tax tales of 1719, Nikita Ivanovich’s estates and estates in different counties included 8,330 quarters of land and 3,622 serfs. Among his possessions, the village of Alekseishevo of the Bogolyubsky camp of the Vladimir district, the villages of Gorshkova, Esetrevo and the village of Staraya Sloboda of the Krivtsov camp of the Yuryev district are mentioned. In the Manatino and Bykov camps of the Moscow district, he owned the village of Vozdvizhenskoe (with 2 estates and a cattle farm, where 24 serfs lived. There were no peasant households in the village). In addition to the village of Sergievsky-Komyagin in the Bokhov camp, Nikita Ivanovich owned the village of Tarasovka (Sm.).


The stucco icon of St. Sergius depicts the unspoken symbol of the temple, found by restorers on one of the carved white stone frames - the image of the All-Seeing Eye.

In 1720, Nikita Ivanovich was still in prison in St. Petersburg under investigation. In 1721, the prisoner was tonsured at the Kirillo-Belozersky Monastery under the name Ioannikiy. Before the rite of tonsure, the disgraced Nikita Ivanovich had to appoint an heir to his estates.From Lopukhina he had his only son, Peter, nicknamed Kanbar (or Khabar), beaten with a whip and exiled to Siberia for the same Lopukhin case. The unfortunate Nikita Ivanovich appointed his son, his grandson, as the heir of his villages and hamlets. Nikolai Kanbarovich (Petrovich) Akinfov(died no later than 1755).

But Nikita Akinfov’s son-in-law, Grigory Dmitrievich Yusupov, soon challenged his father-in-law’s decision in favor of his wife Anna. Ioannikiy unexpectedly took the side of Grigory Yusupov himself. The case was considered in the Senate. The litigation between relatives dragged on until 1728, until it was finally resolved in favor of Nikolai Kanbarovich (Petrovich) Akinfov.

In order to avoid further possible litigation, the following year, 1729, Nikolai Akinfov sold the village of Sergievskoye-Komyaginoto the brother of his grandmother Aksinya Abramovna - Vasily Avramovich Lopukhin(1711-1757), who later fell in the battle of Gross-Jägersdorf.

20 years later, in 1749, Vasily Avramovich Lopukhin sold Sergievskoye-Komyagino to the vice-chancellor, Count Alexey Petrovich Bestuzhev-Ryumin (1693-1766). It should be noted that in the same 1749 A.P. Bestuzhev-Ryumin was granted the highest grant of the neighboring village of Obraztsovo, confiscated from Platon Ivanovich Musin-Pushkin(?-1768) in the case of A.P. Volynsky sentenced to language cutting and exile to Solovki.

In 1758, Alexey Petrovich was sentenced to death for his attempt deprive Peter IIIqueue for the throne and install a minor on itPavel Petrovich (future PavelII. The sentence was commutedexile to the village of Goretovo near Mozhaisk.Of course, during the reign of PeterIIIAlexei Petrovich had nothing to count on, but the accession of Empress Catherine in 1762IIagain returned awards, estates and titles to Bestuzhev-Ryumin.


Catherine II receives Count Bestuzhev-Ryumin upon his return from exile.

On August 31, 1762, by a solemnly promulgated decree, he was acquitted of the charges brought against him. A.P. Bestuzhev-Ryumin was awarded the rank of Field Marshal. However, he lost his former influence at court. The Empress sometimes turned to him for advice on foreign affairs. The count retained external primacy among the nobles, but all his attempts to imperiously intervene in major affairs met with decisive rebuff.According to one of his contemporaries, Bestuzhev-Ryumin was “with a vast, discerning mind, acquired long-term experience in state affairs, was extremely active and courageous; but at the same time proud, ambitious, cunning, sneaky, stingy, vengeful, ungrateful, intemperate in life. He was more feared than loved.".


How the red porch with the walkway has grown into the ground!

A year before his death, the count decided to allocate part of his possessions to his son.The village of Sergievskoye-Komyagino with 72 serfs of both sexes and the village of Obraztsovo came into the possession of his dissolute and “frantic” son Andrey Alekseevich Bestuzhev-Ryumin Jr. (1728-1768), who almost squandered “everything that was acquired by back-breaking labor” of his father.

According to the fair opinion of K.A. Pisarenko, « Bestuzhev Jr.’s career developed quite successfully solely thanks to the merits of his father. Both Elizaveta Petrovna and Catherine II bestowed ranks on the son of the Bestuzhev couple, meeting the requests of the head of the family. Even the first wedding of Andrei Alekseevich on February 22, 1747 with the young niece of A.G. Razumovsky, Avdotya Denisovna Razumovskaya, was by and large a political event. The marriage primarily contributed to strengthening the importance and position of Bestuzhev, the eldest at the Court. However, the newlyweds lived together for a little more than two years. On May 14, 1749, Andrei Bestuzhev’s wife died, and the young widower again went into all serious troubles. Neither the disgrace of his father in 1758, nor the death of his mother, Anna Ivanovna, nee Bettiger, in 1761 brought the rowdy boy to his senses. On the contrary, in Goretovo, out of boredom, he rampaged with even greater recklessness. It took the intervention of Elizaveta Petrovna, who threatened to take into custody her son, who endlessly bullied his parents.” Alexey Petrovich Bestuzhev-Ryumin spent the last few years of his life almost entirely on an unsuccessful struggle with the reckless and unbridled behavior of his own son Andrei. His father tried to calm him down with a second marriage to Princess Anna Petrovna Dolgorukova. The logical ending of the family drama came on August 31, 1765, when Bestuzhev-Ryumin Sr. notified his son in a letter that he no longer intended to live with him under the same roof, and decided to allocate part of his huge fortune to the young spouses.


Two years later, after the death of his father, in 1768 the “frantic” Andrei Alekseevich also died, and the villages of Obraztsovo and Sergievskoye-Komyaginopassed under the guardianship of the nephews of Count Alexei Petrovich - princes Mikhail and Alexei Nikitich Volkonsky, actual state councilor Yakov Ivanovich Sukin (1710-1778) and Prime Major Mikhail Fedorovich Mezhakov (1709-1783).

Subsequently, according to the division between the brothers, the village went to Alexei Nikitich Volkonsky. Alexey Nikitich Volkonsky was a major general and a deputy of the Moscow province in the commission for drawing up the Code of 1767. His wife was Margarita Rodionovna Kosheleva (d. 1790), with whom her husband was buried in the same tomb in the Pafnutii Monastery of Borovsky district. From her, Alexey Nikitich had three sons - Mikhail, Nikolai and Peter and two daughters: Anna (1762-1828) and Ekaterina (1754-1829), who married Alexey Ivanovich Musin-Pushkin, giving him a daughter, Natalya Alekseevna (who married in 1811 for D.M. Volkonsky).

There is no doubt that Prince Alexei Nikitich often visited his exemplary Sergius estates, working on their arrangement. Proof of this is the petition of Prince Alexei to the Synodal Office dated May 4 (old century), 1772, published by N. Skvortsov. Prince Alexei Nikitich granted forgiveness “in which he imagined that in his patrimony of the Moscow district, the Radonezh tithe, the village of Obraztsovo, for more than forty years there has been a stone church built in the name of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary with two side chapels in the name of Venerable Martha, mother of Simeon the Stylite, and St. Euthymius of Suzdal, of which the first was consecrated in 1736, the second in 1738, only the real church to this day, during the existence of the said village before its ownership by various owners, has not been consecrated, for which it was not ready, and now ready for consecration; parishes at this church, according to confessional books of 1771, 66 households". In the same 1772, the Synodal Office issued permission to consecrate the church in Obraztsovo.


And here is the All-Seeing Eye itself.

After the death of Alexei NikitichApril 21 (old style) 1781the villages of Sergievskoye-Komyagino and Obraztsovo passedto his son the foreman Mikhail Alekseevich Volkonsky(d. c. 1794).According to the genealogical tables of the Volkonsky family compiled by E.G. Volkonskaya, managed to find out that he was married to Varvara Ivanovna Shipova (d. December 14, 1804 in Paris). From her M.A. Volkonsky had a son, Pavel, who apparently died in infancy.


Let's go around the anti-salt temple...

In 1800, the villages of Obraztsovo and Sergievskoye-Komyagino with the villages of Vasilyevskoye, Maltsevo, Naberezhnaya, Burkovo and Baybaki were purchased from the heirs of M.A. Volkonsky as court adviser,Markell Demidovich Meshchaninov(1750 - 1813 or 1815 or 1824). In Obraztsovo he founded a wool weaving factory, and not far from Sergievsky-Komyagino he opened a factory for the production of writing paper.


From the previous point, looking up, we will see.

The same stationery production of the Meshchaninovs was located in the village of Novo-Demidovskoye, Kineshma district, Kostroma province (the village of Adishchevo), near Smolensk and Kaluga. The paper produced at the Meshchaninovs' stationery factories had filigree with the inscription "MECHTSCANINOV" in Latin letters. Samples of paper with such filigree, produced in 1811, 1813, 1814 and 1816, are kept in the State Historical Museum in Moscow.


One beautiful view- we won’t see from the cemetery in winter. The entire cemetery near the church is covered in snow up to the knees.

In the spring of 1812, experiencing an acute shortage of workers at his paper mill in Sergievsky-Komyagin, Markel Demidovich decided to resettle here 362 souls of peasants he had bought in the Varnavinsky district of the Kostroma province from the landowner Volynsky. But the manufacturer encountered sharp resistance from the peasants at the first attempt to organize their resettlement. A second attempt dating back to 1813, just like the first, ended in failure.


Things were not calm in Sergievsky itself... In July 1812in the village of Sergievsky-Komyagin at the Meshchaninov paper mill, influenced by a rumor that soon all the serfs would be freedexcitement broke out. The news about him reached the Governor-General of Moscow, Fyodor Vasilyevich Rostopchin, who wrote in a letter to Balashev dated August 10 (July 26, old style) 1812: “In the Bogorodsky district there is a paper factory Meshchaninov. His clerk, having arrived drunk from Moscow, told them such nonsense that the men lost control for one day. But the police captain, court councilor Evreinov acted so well and promptly that everything came into obedience and for his work, without disclosing, he flogged the clerk in the village and sent him to a restraining house in Moscow. I dare to reward this police officer and to encourage others to ask him for the Order of Vladimir, 4th degree.".

In the same 1812, from his Obraztsovo-Sergievsky possession M.D. Meshchaninov provided 38 warriors to the militia.


After the death of Markell Demidovich, his possessions passed into the hands of his sons, Alexandra(d. 1846) and Peter Markellovich- collegiate councilor, who remained the owner of these villages in 1860.

In the same 1852, 104 male and 129 female souls lived in the village of Sergievskoye and Komyagino. In addition to the church, there were 37 peasant households in the village. The Obraztsovskaya factory was sold by Pyotr Markellovich to manufacturer I.V. Alekseev. On the eve of the abolition of serfdom, in 1860, in the village of Sergievskoye with its villages, which still belonged to Pyotr Markellovich, there lived 466 peasants in 149 households.


We will tell you more about the factory in the summer, as we are planning an expedition to the place where this factory was located.


But the time has come to return to the Church of Sergius of Radonezh. The monument is distinguished not only by its slender proportions, but also by the rare perfection of its forms.

  • First Komyagino village , located in the Pushkinsky district of the Moscow region, is mentioned in the List from the scribe book of 1584 - 1586 as Konyaevo wasteland Bokhov camp, Moscow district. The wasteland, together with the village of Pushkino on Ucha, belonged to the metropolitan lands from time immemorial.

    In those ancient times, this region was covered with a dense primeval forest and it is known for certain that one of the most common trades here was beekeeping . In December 1490, the year of his elevation to the metropolitan see, Metropolitan Zosima Bradaty (d. 1496) granted lands and villages to some of his metropolitan beekeepers in the Bokhov and Radonezh camps. Among these beekeepers - leaders of large artels of honey and wax collectors, there were the names of certain Andreika and Ivashka Konyaev : “Behold, Zosima, Metropolitan of All Rus', has granted... his metropolitan beekeepers Andreyk Konyaev, and his brother Ivashka... the church of the Most Pure Mother of God and his metropolitan lands.” (See: Materials on the history of peasants in Russia XI - XVII centuries: Collection of documents. L., - 1958. P. 48).

    It is known that the type of local land grant was a form of payment for the labor of metropolitan service people, similar to the “land salary” of the Grand Duke’s service people. The estate was given “up to the belly” and after the death of the owners it returned to the possession of the metropolitan. Everywhere in the Moscow region, lands received their names from the names of their owners. This is how Konyaevo appeared on the map, and later, having undergone a number of changes, it turned into Komyagino.

    Stone church consecrated in the name of Sergius of Radonezh in the village of Komyagino It was first mentioned in the census books of the Moscow district of Bokhov Stan for the year 1678 (7186).

    Modern view of the temple:
    It is known for sure that the temple was built in 1678 and the following year, 1679, it was consecrated and subject to church tribute. The receipt book of the Patriarchal Order stated: “In the current year 187 January 9, by decree of the patriarch and according to the note on the extract of clerk Perfiliy Semennikov, a tribute was imposed on the newly built church of St. Sergius of Radonezh in the Moscow district, in Bokhov camp, which was the village of Sergeevo, and before that the Komyagino wasteland, on the river on Skalba, in the estate of the steward Nikita Ivanov, son of Akinfov" (See: V. and G. Kholmogorovs. Historical materials about churches and villages. Issue 5. Radonezh tithe. - M., 1886).

    According to common practice, a settlement often changed its first name if a church was built in it. Interestingly, the above document indicates that the church was “newly built” in the village of Sergeevo, which hints at the existence of a pre-stone - wooden church.

    Sergius Church in Komyagino It is distinguished not only by its slender proportions, but also by the rare perfection of its forms.
    According to many researchers, the temple in Sergeevsky-Komyagin is one of the best examples of ancient Russian stone architecture in the entire Moscow region.

    I would probably put it on a par with this church only Annunciation Church in the village of Taininskoye (about this temple see: http://sergeyurich.livejournal.com/901377.html ).

    A brick, pillarless, five-domed temple, the quadrangle of which is completed with two tiers of kokoshniks, with a refectory, a western porch, a hipped bell tower and a northern aisle St. Macarius Zheltovodsky and Unzhensky belongs to the widespreadXVIIcentury type of townsman and patrimonial churches.
    The main quadrangle is elongated along the north-south axis, which significantly increases the width of the temple for better viewing by parishioners of the details of the ritual.

    Temple interiors:

    Here are two photographs of the Sergius Church taken at the beginning of the twentieth century and its description from 1887.

    “From mestrika No. 260, compiled in 1887 by the priest Fr. Vladimir Stepanovich Razumovsky can see that in the altar on the wall near the window there is a carved inscription painted over with whitewash, which is difficult to make out without removing the paint. The church is 11 fathoms long, 8 fathoms wide, about 20 fathoms high and is located on a mountain and is separated from the village by a ravine, it is built of brick on lime mortar, the passage to the bell tower is made in the thickness of the wall, there are iron connections in the walls. The middle chapter is light and all five chapters are covered with tiles; for entering there are two doors on the western side, there are no northern and southern doors, the doors are lined with brick columns and rods; there are voice boxes in the walls, the floor is flaky, and near the doors there is cast iron plates; in the main church in the southern pre-altarium there is a sacristy, and in the northern one there is a storeroom; The iconostasis of the main temple of the new structure has six tiers, painted with blue paint, and gilded in places; The walls of the cold church are painted with iconographic writing, but there are no records of the time of painting, while the warm church is not painted. The iconostasis contains an ancient icon of the Venerable. Sergius and in addition in the church there are ancient objects: an ark made of tin and a shroud made of silk with the inscription: “this image was written in the summer of 7222 (1714), completed in the month of June on the 7th day” (See: Antiquities. Proceedings of the Commission for the Preservation of Ancient Monuments of the Imperial Moscow Archaeological Society. T. 1. - M., 1907. P. 97).

    In 1929 the temple was closed. Interior decoration the temple was lost. IconsXVIIcenturies were thrown into the ravine.

    Photo and description

    The stone Sergius Church in Komyagino was built in the 70s of the 17th century. More precisely, at that time the village had a different name - Sergievo. It was the estate of steward N.I. Akinfov.

    In the 20th century, the building was given the status of an object cultural heritage federal significance. The temple is recognized as one of the best monuments of ancient Russian architecture located in the Moscow region. The pillarless building is built of brick, crowned with five domes, and a hipped bell tower rises above it. Currently there is only one chapel in the church. Initially there were two of them, but the second chapel was dismantled in the 18th century. At the same time, the covered porch ceased to exist.

    On one of the church walls (near the altar) the names of everyone who built the temple or donated funds for its construction are preserved. Clergymen still remember these names during liturgies.

    At the end of the 20s of the 20th century, services in the church were stopped. The temple was looted, ancient icons were thrown into a ravine. In the middle of the 20th century, the church was restored. The restoration was led by L. A. David. The inspection report of the building, drawn up before the restoration, has been preserved to this day. According to this act, the floors of the church were torn up, the vaults were cracked, and the kokoshniks were destroyed.

    After restoration, the building was destroyed again - this happened in the 70s of the 20th century. In the 80s, restoration work was again carried out in the temple, led by B. L. Altshuller.

    Until the early 90s of the 20th century, the building housed a workshop where ceramics were made. Then the temple was handed over to the believers.

    Temple St. Sergius Radonezhsky in the village of Komyagino was built in 1678 during the reign of Feodor Alekseevich, in the estate of the steward Nikita Ivanovich Akinfov (the village was then called Sergievo). Nikita Ivanovich Akinfov was a prominent figure of Peter the Great's time. For resistance to the reforms of Peter I, he was exiled to the Kirillo-Beloezersky Monastery in 1721, and tonsured a monk with the name Ioannikios. This temple is one of the best monuments of ancient Russian architecture in the Moscow region. A brick, pillarless, five-domed temple, the quadrangle of which is completed with two tiers of kokoshniks, with a refectory, a western porch, a tent-roofed bell tower and a northern aisle of St. Macarius of Zheltovodsk and Unzhensk belongs to the type of townsman and patrimonial churches common in the 17th century. The entrance to the bell tower is made in the thickness of the walls. Initially, the second chapel of St. was adjacent to the refectory from the north. Gregory of Nyssa, and from the south - a covered porch, dismantled in the middle of the 18th century. The “torn” tiles that once decorated the northern aisle are almost completely lost. In the altar of the main temple, to the left of the altar, a carved white stone wall has been preserved with the names of the builders and benefactors of the temple, who are commemorated behind each Divine Liturgy. At the end of the 20s of our century the temple was closed. The interior decoration of the temple was completely lost. Only in 1955 - 1961 was the temple restored by the state. By 1980, a second restoration was carried out. As a result of all restoration work the temple was covered with copper, the domes were covered with a two-color wooden ploughshare. In the 80s, the temple premises housed a ceramics workshop. In 1991, the temple was transferred to the Church. The first service took place in 1992 on Christmas Day.
