The Naro-Fominsk region is a veritable storehouse of Russian cultural objects that have not yet been discovered or are not used for widespread tourism and excursion business. Many Narofominsk residents simply do not realize how many historical treasures are located very close to them.

In the 1830s, landowner Dmitry Petrovich Skuratov acquired the village of Malaya Nara. And in 1840, he and Nikolai Dmitrievich Lukin organized a paper spinning factory. This factory became a city-creating enterprise. In 1845, the owners of a paper spinning mill received permission to build a new church in the village of Fominskoye. The former wooden church of St. Nicholas burned down in 1812, along with the entire village, during the retreat of French troops. By 1852, the stone Church of St. Nicholas was built on the left bank of the Nara River. At the end of the 19th century. The artist V.V. Vereshchagin often came to Naro-Fominsk.

The Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker in Naro-Fominsk was built in 1852 in honor of the 40th anniversary of Victory in the War of 1812.
Earlier, back in the seventeenth century, in the village of Fominskoye there was a wooden St. Nicholas Church, which was burned by the French in 1812 during their retreat. In 1845, it was decided to build a stone church next to the place where the temple once stood.
In 1900, the chapel of the Great Martyr George began to be added to the church. However, it was not possible to complete it - the events of 1917 prevented it. In February 1930, the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker was closed. The temple suffered greatly during the war years, was looted and subsequently used as a warehouse. In 1973, the church building was restored and given over to the Naro-Fominsk Historical Museum.
Only in 1988 it was decided to open the church again.

Petrovskoye Estate
The Petrovskoye (Knyazhishchevo) estate is a unique estate ensemble and a formerly luxurious estate, which, unfortunately, is now going through hard times, but is nevertheless worthy of attention. There is still no clear opinion about the authorship of the estate; the names of such architects as Bazhenova, Kazakova, Starov, Lvov are heard in disputes.
In the 18th century, the estate came into the possession of N.A. Demidov and it was under him that she flourished. A brick two-story house in the classicist style, a sculpture of Catherine II, cast-iron sphinxes, all this amazed with its beauty and harmony.
On the territory of the estate, the Church of St. Peter the Metropolitan and a separate bell tower were also built, which were closed in 1930 and converted into industrial buildings.
There is a legend that Empress Catherine II visited the estate in the village of Petrovskoye, and A.S. stayed several times. Pushkin.
The village of Krekshino is located just 20 kilometers southwest of the Moscow Ring Road, and it is very easy to get here by car. The ruins of the manor house are somewhat distant from the highway; they are located in a vacant lot, surrounded by modern residential buildings. Not far from the ruins of the house you can see a pond, but there are no reliable sources that would confirm that it was dug during the prosperity of the estate.
The Krekshino estate was founded in the second half of the 18th century by the collegiate assessor I.D. Tatarinov, then his son inherited the estate. In the middle of the 19th century, the estate passed to a new owner - it was acquired by General A.V. Pashkov, participant in the Patriotic War of 1812 and the Russian-Turkish War of 1828-1829. His heirs owned the estate until the 1917 revolution. Among the guests of the estate were very famous people of Russia; it is enough to mention, for example, the name of the great writer Leo Tolstoy.
The two-story manor house was a very picturesque frame structure, built using the half-timbered technology, which was very popular in European countries in the Middle Ages and flourished at the beginning of the 20th century. Unfortunately, only ruins remain of the house, as it was seriously damaged by fire in 1996.
Afineevo Estate
It so happened that the Afineevo estate has had many owners throughout its history. Historians are still arguing about who was the first owner. The nobleman Stupishin was the third landowner of these lands. By his will, a linden park, artificial ponds with openwork bridges and a main manor house in a classical style appeared in Afineevo.
After him, Afineevo passed to the publisher and editor of the journal Otechestvennye zapiski, Svinin. He, in turn, practically did not live in the estate and sold it to the merchant Vlasov.
In 1913, the collector Bakhrushin became the full owner of the estate. He brought order to Afineevo: he built a barnyard and raised bees. But his peace was disturbed by the revolution. The estate was captured by nationalists who destroyed everything.
Only the Church of John the Baptist, made in the Moscow Boroque style, has survived to this day, as well as a fountain, the foundation of a manor house and a path paved with marble. The memory of the former beauty of the estate is preserved by the centuries-old spruce and linden trees of the overgrown park.
Lyubanovo Estate
Today the building bears little resemblance to an estate. Nowadays a rural school is located there, which both can and does maintain the former beauty of the historical monument, which is made in the neoclassical style with modern elements.
But before this was one of the richest houses in the Moscow region. The first owner of Lyubanovo was K.I. Czartoryski. Chronicles have been preserved where he is described as a despot. Czartoryski treated his serfs harshly. Walled up skeletons of mutilated people were found in the basement walls of his estate. The noble family of a tyrant and fanatic lived in the estate until 1881. Then the estate passed to Privy Councilor V.K. Schlippe. But he did not live on the estate for long. Schlippe was repressed to Germany in 1917.
Two years later, F.E. visited the estate. Dzerzhinsky. The head of the All-Russian Cheka and his family were placed in Lyubanovo to improve their health during the holidays. Felix Edmundovich enjoyed nature, practiced shooting with a revolver, hunted and took boat trips along the Nara River. This is confirmed by a memorial plaque attached to the wall of the manor house.
Milyukovo Estate
The Milyukovo estate belongs to another architectural and historical complex of estates near Moscow, as it was here that the former patrimony of the steward S.Ya. Milyukova. Subsequently, the owners of the estate were various famous historical figures G.N. Belsky, I.I. Shcherbatov, P.P. Shakhovskoy and his heirs, merchants Iroshnikovs, Lyapins and others.
Now the estate is in a dilapidated state, but there you can see the remains of the stone Milyukov Church, which was assigned to the temple in Staro-Nikolskoye and built in the 18th century, a small two-story outbuilding in the classicist style, facing the road, and two cascading ponds along the stream have also been preserved .
Spas-Kositsy Estate
The Spas-Kositsy estate is an architectural monument located near Moscow, which is located away from the road and belongs to the ancient Shuvalov estate, created in the mid-18th century.
The pearl of the estate is the magnificent temple complex, presumably built by K.I. In blank. The complex consists of a four-pillar, five-domed Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord, a three-tier bell tower in the Elizabethan Baroque style. The buildings themselves are impressive with their pediments and pilasters, very beautiful arched and oval windows and many other decorative elements.
The Transfiguration Church has been preserved and is active; not far from the estate there is the Pafnutyevo-Borovsky Monastery, although there is no direct road to it.
Estate Staro-Nikolskoye
The Staro-Nikolskoye estate is located in the Moscow region near the village of Pervomaiskoye. It is believed that the first owner and founder of the estate was V.M.’s grandfather. Rtishchev - F. M. Rtishchev, an adviser close to the tsar. Next, Ya.S. becomes the owner in turn. Esipov, Musins-Pushkins, A.E. Krygin, V.P. Berg. With each owner, something new is added to the estate, complementing the architectural ensemble.
At the moment, a three-story Empire style manor house, a two-story outbuilding, and an entrance gate built at the beginning of the 19th century have been preserved. Also, on the territory of the estate there was a temple of the Descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles and a hipped bell tower in the pseudo-Russian style in honor of the martyr Juliana. Lovers of history and architecture will find many interesting details in this estate, and all guests can enjoy a walk along the linden alley.
Estate V.P. Berg
The estate appeared at the beginning of the 20th century. According to a special order for Berge, the architect V. Adamovich built small two-story houses from wood in the eclectic style. Carved windows, high columns, and walls lined with cut birch bark delighted the eyes of passers-by. The owner of the estate was a famous gold miner and loved to live on a grand scale.
Today, very little remains of the former luxury. Some of the ceilings in the manor houses collapsed, the paint was peeling, and the doors were lopsided. But this did not affect the overall appearance at all. In addition to the rich Berge mansion, outbuildings have also been preserved on the property: a barnyard, a carriage house and a water tower.
The centuries-old buildings are surrounded by a park that stretches all the way to the bank of the Desna River. Rare varieties of larch, fir and other coniferous trees grow there.
In 2008, the land next to the estate was sold for the construction of a cottage village. The work has been in full swing for a long time. The new owners, remembering their predecessors, did not change the name. So they left it - the village of Bergov.
Stele "City of Military Glory"
In 2009, Naro-Fominsk was named the “City of Military Glory.” A year later, in honor of this event, the city Victory Square was decorated with a memorial stele.
The monument is made of marble. The stele rises 12 meters and is crowned with the coat of arms of Russia. Three special plates are fixed in its lower part. One shows the full words of the Decree of the President of Russia on conferring a special title on the city. The other briefly describes the feat of the residents of Naro-Fominsk during the Great Patriotic War. The third shows tragic figures about the residents who died during the war and the destroyed buildings of the city.
The modest but majestic stele has become another city landmark, reminiscent of the heroic Soviet people who defended their hometown.
Monument "Tank T-34"
Naro-Fominsk is a city of military glory. In the autumn of 1941, there were hot battles here. At the turn of the Nara River, a motorized rifle division, reinforced by a tank brigade, stopped the German advance. The KV-1 heavy tank, under the control of Lieutenant G. G. Khetagurov, distinguished itself, which managed to defeat the enemy headquarters and inflict great damage on the enemy.
Nowadays, not far from the bridge through which the heroic tank crossed Nara (now Victory Square), a T-34 tank is installed in memory of the tragic and glorious events.
The monument is carefully monitored. He looks well-groomed and valiant. On the pedestal on which the tank is mounted, there are two memorial plaques.

Naro-Fominsk is a small city located southwest of Moscow on the Central Russian Upland. It is comfortably located on the banks of the Nara River and its tributaries - Berezovka and Gvozdnya. Its population is 62,055 people.
From the history of the city
As a result of excavations at the Fominsky settlement (Smolensk region), archaeologists received confirmation of previously existing versions that in the 12th century there was a settlement on these lands, which was the center of the Fominsky principality-appanage, which was part of the Smolensk principality of ancient Rus'.
The village of Fominskoye on the Nara River was first mentioned in the spiritual will of I. Kalita in 1339. The next mention of him was found in the royal Decree of Alexei Mikhailovich (1654). Leaving Moscow during the War of 1812, the French, led by Napoleon himself, stopped in Fominskoye.
In the thirties of the 19th century, landowner D.P. Skuratov bought the village of Malaya Nara. Together with N.D. Lukin, he organized a paper spinning factory here in 1840, which became a city-creating enterprise. By 1852, a stone church was built on the left bank of the Nara. At that time the population of the town was 365 people.
Merchants from Moscow, the Yakunchikovs (father and son), bought the factory in 1864. Since then, the villages of Fominskoye and Malaya Nara have been united under a common name - the village of Naro-Fominskoye. It became the center of Naro-Fominsk district in 1918, by decision of the local executive committee. The new district included four volosts: Tashirovskaya, Rozhdestvenskaya, Petrovskaya and Rudninskaya.
In 1941, after the German troops attacked Moscow, Naro-Fominsk was occupied by the Nazis. In December of the same year, he was liberated by the forces of the 33rd Army, under the leadership of General M. G. Efremov. During the fierce fighting, which lasted two months, 687 residential buildings were destroyed in the city, and the weaving factory was completely destroyed.
Nevertheless, the city was restored. In 1959, the Vereisky and Kalininsky districts of the Moscow region were included in the Naro-Fominsk district. Dilapidated buildings from the historical part of the city were demolished in 1976. The modern Malkovoy microdistrict appeared on the vacated territory. Today it is the city center. The long and interesting history of the settlement is preserved by its sights. Photos of the city of Naro-Fominsk are not very often found in the press. But there are many interesting and memorable places here that are inextricably linked with the history of our country. Therefore, in this article we will take you on a short virtual trip to Naro-Fominsk. You can see the sights (photos with descriptions) of the city below.

The construction of the monastery was finally completed in 1856. In 1928 the monastery was closed. Many of its buildings were destroyed. Initially, on the territory of the monastery there were: the Temple in honor of John the Baptist, located at the refectory, the gate church of the icon of the Mother of God, and the Trinity Cathedral.

Orthodox sights of Naro-Fominsk mainly date back to the beginning of the 19th century. And the wooden St. Nicholas Church existed even before 1812. In 1845, the first stone was laid for the construction of a stone cathedral. The author of the project was the architect P. Burenin. In 1852, construction work was completed.
In 1904, a sacristy, an almshouse, and a chapel of St. George were built on the territory of the temple. At the same time, a trustee society for the poor was founded here, and the foundation of a refectory was laid. In 1930, the temple was closed to believers.
The St. Nicholas Church community was registered in 1989. A dome and a cross were installed, and in 1999 an iconostasis appeared in the cathedral. Complete restoration and interior decoration of the walls with frescoes was completed in 2004. Today, the church (since 1998) operates Sunday schools for children and adults. The honorary rector of the cathedral is Bishop Ilian Vostryakov, the rector is Archpriest Oleg Mitrov.

It represents the shape of an equilateral cross inscribed in a square. The branches are covered with inclined arches, which serve as support for them. The temple is famous for its light drum, which has eight high slitted windows.
In 1938 the temple was closed. In 1975, restoration was carried out according to the design of the architect B. Altshuller. Since 1990, the temple came under the control of the Russian Orthodox Church, and since 1999, services have been held there.
Dimitrievskaya Church
Many city attractions are still of great interest to historians. Naro-Fominsk attracts researchers with its ancient religious buildings. A special place among them is occupied by the Demetrius Church in Dubrovo.
It was built in the 14th century by Dmitry Donskoy, in honor of the Great Martyr Demetrius of Thessalonica. The stone temple, which now stands on the banks of the Protva, was built by the priest-brothers Pshenichnikov (1896) according to the design of the architect A. Nikiforov. This is a single-domed quadrangle with a refectory, connected to the base of a tent-roofed (two-tier) bell tower.
In 1930 the temple was closed. Since 1994, a large-scale restoration has been carried out here, and in 2003 the cathedral was completely restored.
Historical and architectural sights of Naro-Fominsk: Lyubanovo estate
This estate is located in the village of the same name in the vicinity of Naro-Fominsk, on the shore. Today it bears little resemblance to a luxurious estate built in the neoclassical style with some modern elements. After construction, this house became one of the richest in the Moscow region.
The estate dates back to the end of the 17th century. It was built by K. Czartoryski. It belonged to his family until the mid-19th century. The first owner was distinguished by a cruel disposition: the walled remains of mutilated serfs were found in the walls of the estate’s basement.

Spas-Kositsy Estate
This small town near Moscow has very interesting architectural sights. Naro-Fominsk is known far beyond its borders for the estate built in 1761 by Count A. Shuvalov. The Spas-Kositsy estate was famous for the churches built on its territory.
The first church to be erected was in the name of the Transfiguration of the Lord. Today only the church itself has survived, while the manor house and outbuildings have been completely destroyed. The domed pentagonal church is made in the style. In addition to the belfry, the bell tower was created. On the territory of the Transfiguration Church there is a tomb of the Shuvalov family.
During the Soviet years, the church was destroyed and services were suspended. In 1942, the village of Spas-Kositsy was occupied by German troops. Everything was already ready for the terrible execution - the Nazis planned to burn all the villagers alive. Fortunately, the 6th Automatic Division of the People's Militia managed to save civilians. This is stated on the memorial plaque located on the western wall of the temple.
