The Resurrection Church in Kadashi Sloboda

The church is an outstanding monument in the Moscow Baroque style. The construction of the stone church was paid for by the guests (merchants) Kondrat and Longin Dobrynin. Later, a six-tier bell tower with a tented roof was built here. It was popularly known as the 'candle'. It had a bell weighing over six tonnes, which was paid for by the silk factory owner Ivan Sadovnikov. The original bells were given to the Bolshoi Theatre, where they remain as part of the historical belfry of Russia's main opera stage to this day. They can be heard in productions such as Boris Godunov, The Tsar's Bride, and A Life for the Tsar.
