There has been a church dedicated to the Transfiguration of the Saviour at this area of Moscow historically known as Bolvanka since at least the mid-15th century. Today's church dates from between 1749 and 1755 and comprises the traditional 'octagon-on-cube' structure. In 1839 a bell tower and vestibule were added but after the church was closed in 1917 these structures were demolished. The building was returned to the Orthodox Church in 1992.
