Temple of the Savior Not Made by Hands in Voronovo Timetable. Churches of the St. Nicholas Deanery. Worship in the temple

Architectural monument - Temple Miraculous Image All-Merciful Savior, which in the village of Voronovo is part of the architectural ensemble of the estate that belonged to Count Ivan Larionovich Vorontsov. The temple is three-altared, and in addition to the main altar of the Miraculous Image of the All-Merciful Savior, it has a northern aisle in honor of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker of Myra (originally the aisle was dedicated to the Venerable Mary of Egypt) and a southern aisle dedicated to the Great Martyr Artemy.
The village itself received its name from the grandson of Dmitry Bobrok, who was the governor of Prince Dmitry Donskoy, the estate of the Volyn boyar in the 15th century. Boyar Volynsky had the nickname “Voronoi”, which is where the name Voronovo came from. The Volynsky family was listed as the owner of the village until the beginning of the 18th century. It was then that the last representative in the direct line of this family, Volynskaya Maria Artemyevna, married Ivan Larionovich Vorontsov, who at that time held the rank of lieutenant general. (It should be noted that Maria Volynskaya was the daughter of the most famous figure in government circles - Artemy Petrovich Volynsky, who was executed in 1740 for involvement in a conspiracy against Biron.) Thanks to the efforts of this couple, a stone church in honor of the Savior was built and consecrated in 1763 Not made by hands. This temple also became the last refuge for the spouses who died within three years of each other, as evidenced by the memorial plaque inside the temple (look at the photo).
The project was distinguished by the rare beauty of its forms and decoration. Researchers attribute the authorship to the famous Moscow architect K.I. Blanca. The free-standing bell tower of the temple is 62 meters high and is in itself a unique architectural monument, harmoniously completing the temple complex while simultaneously connecting it with the landscape of the area.

Continuation:

It was the Lord’s will that the temple would never close, but would only witness many events in the life of the Fatherland. So Catherine II visited this place in December 1775 while passing from Kaluga Holy place. During the war with the French, namely in 1812, the Moscow Governor-General (being the owner of the estate), Fyodor Vasilyevich Rastopchin, following the example of the burning of Moscow, burned down his palace and the stud farm attached to it. On the doors of the church he left a message for the enemies: “French! Here you will find only ashes…”! During the days of Napoleon's troops stationed in Voronovo, the temple was desecrated because the enemy cavalry was stationed there. However, immediately after the defeat of the French, the Spasskaya Church was consecrated anew.

Even in the most terrible years, when the Holy Church was persecuted by the new law and authorities, the temple continued to remain open. The residents of Voronovo themselves did not allow this to be done, either through cunning or perseverance. And in 1941, the village fell into the first line of defense of Moscow and then the church provided great spiritual support to the local residents. However, in 1942, the twenty-meter spire of the bell tower was destroyed along with the cross, because it was believed that it was a good landmark for enemy forces. Thus, for 55 years, the most striking architectural monument remained without a roof.
And only since 1998, through the efforts of the parish and thanks to the support of benefactors, work began on the restoration of the bell tower. For the Great Feast of the two thousandth anniversary of the Nativity of Christ, the bell tower was completely restored, along with the roof and spire. The building of the temple itself has never been subjected to destruction from the outside, but the years take their toll. Therefore, since 2001, restoration work has been constantly underway. For example, the octagon along with the head has already been completely restored. By 2012, the roof of the temple was completely restored, and now, as before, it delights all parishioners and casual travelers with its beauty and rich decoration.

40 km from Moscow, along the Old Kaluga Highway. There is an ancient estate in the Moscow region - Voronovo.
It once belonged to the old noble family of the Volynskys.
One of the Volynskys is Mikhail Grigorievich, who served under Tsar Ivan III,
bore the nickname Voronoi, so his descendants began to be called Voronoi-Volynsky.
The last representative of the family, Maria Artemyevna Volynskaya, married the count. I. I. Vorontsova.

Empress Elizabeth married her second cousin Maria of Volynskaya, returned from the monastery, to Ivan Illarionovich.
She was the daughter of Cabinet Minister Artemy Petrovich Volynsky and Alexandra Lvovna Naryshkina, the niece of Tsarina Natalya Kirillovna, cousin of Peter the Great.

On Vorontsov’s wedding day, the Empress returned the Voronovo family estate of the Volynskys to the newlyweds.

After retiring, Ivan Illarionovich settled with his family in Voronovo, where he began arranging the estate.
According to the design of the architect Karl Blank, they were built manor house, Spasskaya Church in the Baroque style and a Dutch house similar to 16th-century burgher houses, extremely fashionable at that time.

In 1760, the owner of the Voronovo estate, Ivan Illarionovich Vorontsov, invited his Moscow neighbor, architect Karl Ivanovich Blank (1728-1793), to take part in the creation of a project for the development of the Voronovo estate.
It is worth mentioning that by that time the architect took part in the restoration of the Resurrection Cathedral in the New Jerusalem Monastery (from 1756 to 1759)

It is generally accepted that the 60s of the 18th century were the most fruitful for the famous architect.
It was during this period that K.I. Blank created designs for the churches of Cyrus and John on Solyanka (built 1764, not preserved) and Catherine the Martyr on Bolshaya Ordynka(built in 1765, preserved), St. Nicholas Church in Zvonary (built in 1760-1762). Karl Ivanovich Blank was welcomed at the royal court.
During the coronation of Catherine II, the architect was introduced to the empress as the chief architect of Moscow, and from then on Catherine favored him.
In addition, in 1764, Karl Ivanovich Blank was appointed chief architect of the Moscow Synod.

And so, in the early 60s of the 18th century, the architect came to the Voronovo estate and began to build the estate church - the Church of the Savior of the Image Not Made by Hands.

The Temple of the Holy Image of the All-Merciful Savior in the village of Voronovo is one of the oldest shrines and architectural decoration of the Moscow region, an architectural monument of federal significance.

Since ancient times, there was a wooden Church of Origin in the village Holy Cross The Lord's.

From 1704 to 1726 Voronovo was in the possession of Vasily Ivanovich Volynsky. On the site of the dilapidated one, a wooden church was built in the name of the Savior, the Image Not Made by Hands. On August 12, 1709, “according to a blessed letter, a new antimension was issued against the signature of Deacon Vasily Vasiliev.”

The last representative of the Volynsky family, Maria Artemyevna, married the count, lieutenant general, senator, president of the Estate Collegium Ivan Illarionovich Vorontsov. At his request, on April 15, 1752, the Moscow Spiritual Consistory sent a decree granting permission to build a new one instead of the dilapidated wooden church. Was lined up stone temple in the name of the Savior, the Image Not Made by Hands, with the chapels of the Holy Great Martyr Artemy and the Venerable Mary of Egypt.

By 1762, a stone church with two chapels was built. On October 19, 1762, the chapel was consecrated in the name of the Great Martyr Artemy. The consecration was carried out by Archimandrite Gabriel of the stauropegial Zaikonospassky Monastery. The second chapel - St. Mary of Egypt - was consecrated on August 16, 1763 by Archbishop Ambrose of Krutitsy.

In 1800, the Vorontsovs sold the estate to Count Fyodor Vasilyevich Rostopchin, who in May 1812 was appointed Moscow military governor. When the French approached Voronov, he ordered his estate in Voronov to be set on fire. A note was found attached to the door of the church, which said: “The inhabitants of this place, numbering 1710, are leaving it at your approach, and I set fire to my house so that it would not be desecrated by your presence ... here you will find nothing but ashes..."

During the French troops' station in Voronovo, the church was desecrated - enemy cavalry were stationed in it.

In 1813 the church was consecrated again. According to the clergy register of 1829, two altars are mentioned in the Spasskaya Church: in honor of the Miraculous Image of the All-Merciful Savior and the Great Martyr Artemy. The chapel of the Venerable Mary of Egypt was deprived of its throne “from the enemy invasion and has not been corrected.”

And already from the clergy list of 1836 we learn that the throne of St. Mary of Egypt was renamed and consecrated in the name of St. Nicholas.

Thus, the church again became three-altar.

By the grace of God, the Spasskaya Church in Voronovo was not looted and closed during the days of persecution. The bells were only removed and taken to be melted down.

In 1942, the 20-meter spire of the bell tower, which served as a landmark for the enemy, was destroyed. For 55 years, the bell tower, which in itself is a unique architectural monument, remained without a roof. Since 1998, through the efforts Orthodox parish started with the support of sponsors restoration work on the bell tower: for the 2000th anniversary of the Nativity of Christ, the spire was restored.

The rector is priest George Khadzhiysky.

Voronovo Estate located on the territory Podolsk district Moscow region, approximately 40 kilometers from the Moscow Ring Road along Kaluga highway(Route A101). The estate was built at the turn of the 16th-17th centuries. During its existence, the Voronovo estate has changed several owners. Until the first third of the 18th century, the owners of the estate were Voronov-Volynsky. One of prominent representatives This family was Artemy Petrovich Volynsky (1689 - 1740) - a Russian statesman and diplomat.

The heyday of the estate begins under Count Ivan Illarionovich Vorontsov. Ivan Illarionovich Vorontsov - lieutenant general, president of the Votchinsky Collegium takes possession of the Voronovo estate after marrying the daughter of Artemy Petrovich Volynsky - Maria Artemyevna Volynskaya.
A famous architect of those years was invited to create the estate complex. Karl Ivanovich Blank. Thanks to his efforts, one of the most beautiful estate ensembles in the Moscow region was created in Voronovo. Later Voronovo estate complex was significantly reconstructed and today the following remains: Spasskaya Church (architectural style baroque) and " Dutch house" - a two-story building near a pond, stylized as houses characteristic of Dutch national architecture, and at the same time, typical of the romantic movement classicism, the architecture of which used elements of national techniques to revive the canons.

In 1748, Ivan Illarionovich and Maria Artemyevna had a son - Artemy Ivanovich Vorontsov(1748-1813), who married Praskovya Fedorovna Kvashnina-Samarina ( cousin grandmothers A.S. Pushkin - Maria Alekseevna Hannibal), became godfather A.S. Pushkin. Thus, the history of the estate is indirectly connected with the history of the great Russian poet Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin. The 18th century is considered the “golden age” for the old noble family of Vorontsov. It was during this period that representatives of the clan held prominent government positions, carried out active educational and charitable activities, thanks to which they become widely known.
IN late XVIII century Artemy Ivanovich Vorontsov, for further development and arrangement of the estate invites the famous architect Nikolai Alexandrovich Lvov. According to his project, underground galleries are being built on the territory of the estate, connecting the main buildings of the estate, and the pond is being expanded. According to the project Nikolai Alexandrovich Lvov, on the territory of the estate a palace is being built, from the windows of the hall and small living rooms there was a beautiful view of a multi-level pond with artificial islands - the land for them was brought from Oryol, Kursk and other provinces. There are only two estates left in the Moscow region associated with the name of the famous architect and park builder of Lvov: Voronovo And Vvedenskoye.

IN 1800 The Vorontsovs sold the Voronovo estate to the Moscow governor, Count Fedor Vasilievich Rostopchin. Through the efforts of the new owner, who was fond of floriculture and gardening, a greenhouse. However, in 1812, during the French offensive on Moscow, during the Patriotic War, Count Rostopchin made a decision set fire to his estate in Voronov. In one of the books, an allegedly existing note is mentioned, in which, on behalf of the count, it was said: “the inhabitants of these places, numbering 1710, leave it at your (Napoleon’s) approach, and I (Rostopchin) set fire to my house so that it would not be desecrated by your presence... here you will find nothing but ashes." In the fire of the Patriotic War of 1812, the house built according to the design of Lvov and one of the art collections of F.V. Rostopchin, which became famous even before the war, perish.

After the Rostopchins, in 1858 year, the estate came into the possession of the family Sheremetyevs. In this period main house the manor was rebuilt in the style neo-baroque. Last the owner of the estate was Anna Sergeevna Sheremeteva, daughter of Sergei Dmitrievich Sheremetyev - Russian statesman, historian, collector. Husband of Anna Sergeevna Sheremeteva, Alexander Petrovich Saburov, was shot by the Bolsheviks in 1919 year.

Currently, the Voronovo estate can be conditionally divided into two parts - open and closed. TO closed part applies manor park, manor house, preserved to this day " Dutch house" All this is located on the territory sanatorium Ministry of Economic Development and is absolutely closed for access, inspection and walks. Unfortunately, we were able to photograph the manor house only from the guard booths at the entrance, and it is impossible to go further, alas.
To the second part - open- applies Spasskaya Church.

Church of the Savior Not Made by Hands (Spasskaya Church)

The stone single-domed centric church is an example of the Elizabethan Baroque period. The building of the Spasskaya Church was built according to the architect's design Karl Ivanovich Blanca at the expense of Ivan Illarionovich Vorontsov.
IN 1760 year, the owner of the Voronovo estate, Ivan Illarionovich Vorontsov, invites his Moscow neighbor, architect Karl Ivanovich Blank (1728-1793), to take part in the creation of a project for the development of the Voronovo estate. It is worth mentioning that by that time the architect took part in the restoration of the Resurrection Cathedral in (from 1756 to 1759)

It is generally accepted that the 60s of the 18th century were the most fruitful for the famous architect. It was during this period that K.I. Form were created projects of the churches of Cyrus and John on Solyanka(built 1764, not preserved) and Catherine the Martyr on Bolshaya Ordynka(built in 1765, preserved), St. Nicholas Church in Zvonary(built in 1760-1762). Karl Ivanovich Blank was welcomed at the royal court. During the coronation of Catherine II, the architect was presented to the Empress as chief architect of Moscow, and from then on Catherine favored him. In addition, in 1764 Karl Ivanovich Blank was appointed chief architect of the Moscow Synod. One of the merits of Karl Ivanovich Blank is the combination of the classical pan-European foundations of architecture with native Russian traditions. Most of the churches built according to the architect’s designs are distinguished by a single closed shape, topped big dome. The adjoining of the side parts to the central volume occurs in accordance with the direction towards the main sides of the horizon, thereby creating the usual cross-shaped dome space with four branches. The side parts may have straight or rounded corners, but they are always closely adjacent to the central core, creating a compact overall composition.

And here in early 60s 18th century architect comes to Voronovo estate and begins the construction of the manor church - Church of the Savior Not Made by Hands. Some elements of the building (drum and dome) partly resemble Church of St. Nicholas in Zvonary, but the main volume is sharply different. Baroque architecture is especially evident in the building of this church. The complexity of the building plan (square with rounded corners, porticoes on all four sides, with broken pediments and crepe entablatures) and the variety of decorative decorations distinguish this church from other churches of the 18th century. The year the construction of the church was completed is considered 1763 year. By this time, a stone church with two limits was built. Side chapels were consecrated in the name Great Martyr Artemy(in 1762) and in the name Saint Mary of Egypt(in 1763). As a result of the Patriotic War of 1812, the chapel of St. Mary of Egypt was deprived of its throne “due to enemy invasion and was not corrected.” In this regard, in 1836 throne of Saint Mary of Egypt renamed and consecrated in the name St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. Thus, at present the church has two chapels - St. Nicholas and the Great Martyr Artemy, preserved from the time of construction. Refectory and bell tower appeared later, at the beginning of the 19th century, when the temple ceased to be part of the estate and became an ordinary parish church.

The church is one of the few churches that have not been closed over the years Soviet Union. However, the war years left marks on the appearance of the temple - at the end of 1941, the dome and spire of a separate multi-tiered bell tower were broken (the 20-meter spire was too good reference for the enemy), the bells were removed and taken to be melted down. The bell tower building was restored in the early 2000s.
The church is located tomb of Counts Vorontsov.
