Pyatnitskie Gates (Museum of Russian Vodka) (June 2012)

In 1812 the French destroyed what were the Pyatnitskie Gates in the kremlin walls. In 1815 it was decided to build a church in the gap and St Tikhon of Zadonsk's Church was completed in 1816. Originally the church was used as a prison church for the prison which was located nearby. St Tikhon of Zadonsk's Church was closed in the Soviet times and it now holds a small museum dedicated to Russian vodka and a restaurant.
