The Church of the Conception of Anna, that in the Corner

The Church of the Conception of Righteous Anna, that in the Corner - one of the oldest Moscow parish churches, located in Zaryadye, at the intersection of Kitaygorodsky passage and Moskvoretskaya embankment. The existing building was built in the middle of the 16th century. Its present appearance is due to the restoration, carried out in the 1950s under the project of architect Lev David.
For the first time the church "Zachatia, which is on the East corner" is mentioned in the annals in connection with the fire of 1493, when the wooden church was completely burned down.
In the 1920s (according to other sources - in 1929) the church was closed, but remained under the protection of the state as a historical monument. Then the building housed office and tourist facilities. The decoration of the interior of the temple was irretrievably lost. In 1994 the church was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church and was consecrated in the same year.
Due to the demolition of the Rossiya Hotel, and then the construction of the Zaryadye Park, worship services in the church were temporarily not held.
