Sretensky impasse

The Sretensky dead end runs from Sretenka Street (between houses No. 32 and No. 34) to Ananyevsky Lane , runs from west to east almost parallel to Sretensky Boulevard and the Garden Ring . It was named in the 19th century along Sretenka Street, which adjoins ^[1] . Despite its historically established name, it is not a dead end .

A dead end arose in the 17th century , when archers were settled here under Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich . The impasse rested on "an artillery courtyard, where a large pond was surrounded by several wooden buildings, which housed the office, board, barns, an infirmary and other institutions" ^[2] . From the north, the territory of the Church of the Holy Martyr Pankratia, built by archers in 1700, adjoined a dead end. In the middle of the XIX century it was called Dull Lane ^[3] , and on the site of the artillery yard there was a large section of I. S. Ananov, through which Ananyevsky Lane was laid in 1887 ^[4] . It got its modern name at the end of the 19th century along Sretenka Street , which adjoins, but at the beginning of the 20th century the name Maly Sretensky Lane was also used ^[5] . In 1929, the Church of the Holy Martyr Pankratia was destroyed and several typical houses were built in its place ( Ananyevsky Lane , house number 5 with buildings), the ends of which began to break into a dead end.

• Metro station " Sukharevskaya ".
• Two-way traffic on the lane is allowed, but the direction from Ananyevsky lane to Sretenka is mainly used.
