History
Local History
The tract “Glinishche” , in which the church was built, was called so by its abundance here in clay soil suitable for making bricks and pottery . It is first mentioned together with the church in a spiritual letter-testament of Adrian Jarlyk in 1460. [one]
The Church of the Savior in Glinishchi gave the name to neighboring alleys - Bolshoi and Maly Spasoglinischevsky .
Church Construction
For the first time, the Church of the Savior in the Glinisci was mentioned in the spiritual letter of the old man of the Moscow Simonov monastery Adrian Yarlyk dated to 1460 .
In 1657 the church was considered stone. In 1776, it began to be dismantled in disrepair.
In 1780, the western part of the Transfiguration Church was built with the means of commerce of counselor Alexander Yakovlevich Uvarov with two “warm” aisles: the Great Martyr Catherine (known since 1690 ) and the Intercession of the Mother of God (in memory of the neighboring Church of the Intercession in Blinniki, which was dismantled in the same years - now Nicolae in Kleniki ). In the same year, the chapels were consecrated.
On August 6, 1802, the main throne, the Transfiguration of Our Savior , was consecrated. The authorship in the construction of the church is attributed to V. I. Bazhenov . [2]
In 1898 (according to the Synodal Handbook) the church was renewed.
Until the destruction of the church in 1931, the original iconostasis and wall paintings of the early 19th century were preserved in it. Two temple icons of the Transfiguration and the Intercession in the Pokrovsky chapel, as well as the icons of St. Nicholas and Our Lady of Tikhvin dated to the 17th century .
Soviet period
The Church of the Transfiguration of Our Savior was destroyed in 1931 . In 1937-1939, at this place, the architect A. I. Efimov built the Residential Building Housing Cooperative "Military Builder" ( Lubyansky proezd , 17).
