Temple of the Kazan Mother of God in Glebov, which is not far from Istra, is a typical landowner temple. This church was built on an old noble estate at the expense of its owner. This happened at the very end of the serfdom era.
Elegant Kazan Temple, alas, in the 20th century little remained of its beauty; By the end of the Soviet era, the once beautiful building had turned into ruins. Nothing has been preserved from the former decoration of the temple.
Although the Kazan Church was returned to believers in 1998, for another five years after that it remained abandoned. Only in 2003 did things move forward. The revival of the desecrated temple began.
At the beginning of 2007, nine bells were raised to the temple belfry, and in February 2008, a large bell, “Blagovest,” weighing more than a ton. They cleared and equipped a holy spring not far from the church. Since the summer of 2008, the bell festival “Kazan Ring” began to be held. After seven years, the festival has gained considerable popularity; the best masters of bell ringing and many artistic groups come to attend it.
In Glebovo, at the Kazan Church, there is a children's Sunday school, Christmas and Easter matinees are held, a weekly parish leaflet is published, and parishioners make pilgrimage trips to holy places.

In the second half of the 1850s, the village of Glebovo passed into the hands of a nobleman of the Tambov province, major and cavalier Stepan Stepanovich Shilovsky.
Stepan Stepanovich planned to turn his estate near Moscow into a center of cultural life, where it would not be a shame to host famous figures of Russian culture. And soon active landscaping work began here.
Construction of the Kazan Temple
Shilovsky submitted a petition to Metropolitan of Moscow and Kolomna Philaret (Drozdov) for the construction of the stone church he had planned. Filaret did not refuse, and soon a beautiful temple grew up in Glebov, consecrated in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God.
The author of the Kazan Church in Glebov was the creator -. The Kazan Church itself, erected surprisingly quickly, in almost a year, was a smaller copy of the famous St. Petersburg church - the Annunciation Church of the Horse Guards Regiment.
The church was richly decorated; for the needs of the clergy, the landowner deposited eight thousand rubles in the bank “for eternity.”
On holidays, the ringing of bells floated over the area - there were plenty of churches here, and the famous one, founded by Patriarch Nikon, was located very close. The ringing from different bell towers merged into a solemn symphony, delighting the ears of eminent composers who came here - one of them was Pyotr Tchaikovsky, who composed his best works in Glebov.

In the 1880s, the estate gradually fell into decay, the widow and sons of Stepan Stepanovich Shilovsky, who died in 1866, did not possess his economic talents, money slipped through their fingers, and in 1887 Konstantin Stepanovich Shilovsky, who owed the bank a serious amount, was forced to withdraw Glebov estate for sale.
After Glebovo changed hands several times - somehow it turned out that each new owner very quickly became bankrupt and got rid of the recent acquisition. This state of affairs did not benefit either the once well-groomed estate or its wonderful Kazan Church.
After the revolution
The pre-revolutionary problems of the Church of the Kazan Mother of God in Glebovo, associated with its maintenance in proper order, already seemed ridiculous in the post-revolutionary era; in the 1920s, the question of its very existence arose. The temple building was planned to be converted into a club.
The talk about the club, however, did not translate into any practical actions, no one was going to convert the church building into a club, and, having more or less safely survived the last two months of 1941, when fierce battles with the Nazis broke out in the Glebov area, the temple remained abandoned .
By the end of the 1980s, the Church of the Kazan Mother of God looked terrifying: without crosses, without windows, without doors, with a collapsing main tent, with mountains of garbage inside. In 1989, in the wake of the coming changes, the Glebov poultry farm thought about restoring the monument, but the matter was limited to the conservation of the building; there were not enough funds for more, in the conditions of the then economic and social catastrophe.

Temple of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God- an Orthodox church of the Istra deanery of the Moscow diocese, located in the village of Glebovo, Istra district, Moscow region, an architectural monument.
The cemetery church was built at the expense of the local landowner Stepan Shilovsky in 1856-59. with the blessing of Metropolitan of Moscow and Kolomna Philaret. The five-tent church in the pseudo-Russian style is one of the earliest repetitions of the church of the Horse Guards Regiment of K. A. Ton. In the temple there was a revered Kazan icon in Greek writing, which was subsequently lost.
In 1938, the last priest of the temple, Alexy Smirnov (canonized in 2002 and included in the Council of New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia), was arrested and shot at the Butovo training ground, and the church was closed. It stood in disrepair, gradually collapsing; in 1989-1990, the Glebovskaya poultry farm carried out reconstruction work, but was not completed. On November 4, 2003, in the temple returned to the believers, the first prayer service was served. The chapel of the Icon of the Mother of God of Kazan is assigned to the church.

An excerpt characterizing the Kazan Church in Glebovo
The princess pretended that she did not see anything more extraordinary in this news than in the fact that Pierre had seen Anna Semyonovna.- Do you know her? asked Pierre.
“I saw the princess,” she answered. “I heard that they were marrying her to young Rostov.” This would be very good for the Rostovs; They say they are completely ruined.
- No, do you know Rostov?
“I only heard about this story then.” Very sorry.
“No, she doesn’t understand or is pretending,” thought Pierre. “It’s better not to tell her either.”
The princess also prepared provisions for Pierre's journey.
“How kind they all are,” thought Pierre, “that now, when they probably couldn’t be more interested in this, they are doing all this. And everything for me; That’s what’s amazing.”
On the same day, the police chief came to Pierre with a proposal to send a trustee to the Faceted Chamber to receive the things that were now being distributed to the owners.
“This one too,” thought Pierre, looking into the police chief’s face, “what a nice, handsome officer and how kind!” Now he deals with such trifles. They also say that he is not honest and takes advantage of him. What nonsense! But why shouldn’t he use it? That's how he was raised. And everyone does it. And such a pleasant, kind face, and smiles, looking at me.”
Pierre went to dinner with Princess Marya.
Driving through the streets between the burned-out houses, he was amazed at the beauty of these ruins. The chimneys of houses and fallen walls, picturesquely reminiscent of the Rhine and the Colosseum, stretched, hiding each other, along the burnt blocks. The cab drivers and riders we met, the carpenters who cut the log houses, the traders and shopkeepers, all with cheerful, beaming faces, looked at Pierre and said as if: “Ah, here he is! Let's see what comes out of this."
Upon entering the house of Princess Marya, Pierre was filled with doubt as to the justice of the fact that he was here yesterday, saw Natasha and spoke with her. “Maybe I made it up. Maybe I’ll walk in and not see anyone.” But before he had time to enter the room, in his entire being, after the instant deprivation of his freedom, he felt her presence. She was wearing the same black dress with soft folds and the same hairstyle as yesterday, but she was completely different. If she had been like this yesterday when he entered the room, he could not have failed to recognize her for a moment.
She was the same as he had known her almost as a child and then as the bride of Prince Andrei. A cheerful, questioning gleam shone in her eyes; there was a gentle and strangely playful expression on her face.
Pierre had dinner and would have sat there all evening; but Princess Marya was going to the all-night vigil, and Pierre left with them.
The next day Pierre arrived early, had dinner and sat there all evening. Despite the fact that Princess Marya and Natasha were obviously pleased with the guest; despite the fact that the whole interest of Pierre’s life was now concentrated in this house, by the evening they had talked everything over, and the conversation constantly moved from one insignificant subject to another and was often interrupted. Pierre stayed up so late that evening that Princess Marya and Natasha looked at each other, obviously waiting to see if he would leave soon. Pierre saw this and could not leave. He felt heavy and awkward, but he kept sitting because he couldn’t get up and leave.
The owners of the estate in the village of Glebovo, Istrinsky district, were the owners of very famous surnames. One of the first owners at the end of the 16th - beginning of the 17th centuries was Prince Grigory Romodanovsky, voivode of Kashirsky, a participant in the events of the Time of Troubles, regimental voivode under Vasily Shuisky, who in 1613 signed the letter of election of Mikhail Romanov to the kingdom.
After Romodanovsky, the estate was owned by other persons, including Count Fyodor Tolstoy, who bought it in the 30s of the 19th century. Fyodor Tolstoy was known as a duelist, card player, adventurer and participant in the first Russian round-the-world expedition led by Ivan Kruzenshtern (although he was landed for bad behavior on the shores of North America and returned to Russia by land). Tolstoy took part in the Patriotic War of 1812, and then, in the 20s, he married a gypsy Avdotya Tugaeva and lived with her on his estate in Glebov. After the death of her husband, Avdotya Maksimovna sold the estate to Stepan Shilovsky, under whom social and cultural life began to flourish in Glebov. True, this period lasted only seven years, from 1859 until the death of the owner in 1866. At that time, furnished country houses and bathhouses were built, ponds and greenhouses were created, and a park was laid out. The estate even had its own theater. His heirs, wife and son were unable to manage the estate as well, and as a result, Glebovo was put up for auction.
Under Stepan Shilovsky, the current building of the Church of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God was built in Glebov. It was built in three years and stood in a rural churchyard. The author of the project was the architect Konstantin Ton. The shrine of the temple was the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God in Greek writing, which was lost later. The church has remained closed since 1938, but services there were resumed in the 21st century. The temple building was recognized as an architectural monument. Currently, the temple is being assisted by the descendants of the landowner Shilovsky - the family of the famous actor Vsevolod Shilovsky. Not far from the church there is a spring whose water is recognized as miraculous. The chapel of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God was erected above this source; it was assigned to the Glebov church.
The last private owner of Glebov was Boris Brusilov, whose older brother Alexey became the author of the famous “Brusilovsky breakthrough” during the First World War.

Epiphany Church Glebovo. History of the temple
In the Kashin census book for 1678 it is indicated “behind the okolnichy Pyotr Ivanovich Matyushkin the village of Glebovo.” The mention of Glebovo as a village suggests that there was already a temple here. In the clergy register of 1796, in the village of Glebovo, the Church of the Epiphany is noted, wooden, built in 1703, apparently in place of the burnt old temple.
The first information about the clergy and parishioners of the church dates back to the 30s of the 18th century. From the case of the Tver Consistory it follows that on August 22, 1737, parishioners of the Glebov Epiphany Church beat Empress Anna Ioannovna with their foreheads. The petition said that in their village the priest of the church, Ivan Vasiliev, died on March 7, 1737, and there was no priest all this time “and the Church of God stands without there are considerable needs for singing and parish secular needs,” and they proposed to make the deacon of this church, Yakov Andreev, a priest. The petition noted that the church parish consisted of two landowner households and 50 peasant households.
From the inventory of the church for 1755 it is clear that Ivan Yakovlev is listed as its priest. Yakov Andreev continued to serve as sexton in the church, and Stepan Yakovlev as sexton. Priest Ivan Yakovlev died in July 1756. There were 52 courtyards of parishioners at the church (see ibid: case 865, l.1).
In the same case, there is a petition to the Bishop of Tver Benjamin from the parishioners-landowners of this church, who reported that after the deceased priest there was a family of 14 children and grandchildren, and therefore they asked for the promotion of the son of the deceased Ivan Yakovlev, Peter Ivanov, who was 27 years old, to the priesthood . Indeed, on April 24, 1757, the said Peter Ivanov received a charter for a priestly position in this church (see in the same case).
However, after some time, the Tver Consistory began to receive complaints about the priest’s drunkenness and unworthy behavior. The consistory decided that Ivanov “should not inflict similar temptations on the people in the future,” to take away his assigned letter and send him to a monastery to do hard work for a year,” and then assign him to some church as a sexton for a year. “And if he, Peter, being a sexton in the monastery and at the church, lives an honest life and does not disgrace the sacred rite,” then he should be allowed to serve in the priesthood and assigned to another church. The priest was sent for correction to the Dmitrovsky monastery in the city of Kashin, and in 1767 he was sent for six months to serve as a priest in the church of the village of Kvashonki (l. 56)
In the same 1767, the village elders of the landowners wrote in a petition to the bishop that since the priest Pyotr Ivanov, 35 years old, was excommunicated from the church by decree of the Synod, they asked to put in his place a deacon from the church of the village of Belgorodka Arseny Ivanov - “a man good." At this time, the parish of the church in the village of Glebovo consisted of 65 households.
From the documents of the early 18th century it is clear that Arseny Ivanov (“who was not in school”) was made a priest of this church and remained so until his death at the age of 72 on August 10, 1805, i.e. was a priest for 37 years (!) in this village. The file preserved the original “letter of honor” given to him on February 1, 1767 from the consistory.
In October 1805, the consistory received a petition from parishioners of the church in the village of Glebovo, who, in place of the deceased priest, wanted the deacon of the church in the village of Yarinsky, Kalyazinsky district, Peter Fotiev, who received the “approval” of the parishioners of the church. It indicated that in 1804 the church had 79 parish courtyards, in which 333 male souls lived. However, Peter Fotiev was not approved by the bishop as a priest of the church - “for his relationship with the sexton of this church, Parthenius Vasiliev.
In March 1806, the parishioners of the church in the village of Glebovo again sent a petition in which they asked that the deacon of the church in the village of Kayurovo, Korchevsky district, Vasily Semenov, be promoted to priest. The new candidate for priest was from the village of Taldoma - the son of the local sexton Semyon Ivanov, who at that time was already serving as such in the Trinity churchyard in Berezniki. The new candidate was 28 years old; from 13 to 25 he studied (from 1791 to 1803) at the Tver Seminary. He was promoted to sexton in June 1805. The request was granted.
During the service of Vasily Simeonov (Semyonov) as a priest, two descriptions of the church in the village of Glebovo for 1820 and 1830 were preserved. It was noted that the Church of the Epiphany and its bell tower remained wooden; no chapels appeared in it. The clergy consisted of three ministers. Vasily Simeonov Troitsky remained a priest all these years (the surname was added in the last inventory. The sexton was Parfeny Vasiliev, and Pyotr Leontiev Tveretsky became a priest, who studied at the Kashinsky district school, but was expelled from its lower department and assigned to this place in 1825. Sexton Vasily Stefanov Troitsky replaced Simeon Matveev in 1830, after his expulsion from the Bezhetsk district school.
On July 26, 1835, Archbishop Gregory submitted a petition to Archbishop Gregory, who graduated from the theological course of the Tver seminary, Ilya Andreev Novosyolov, in which he wrote that he learned from the parishioners of the village of Glebovo, Kalyazinsky district, that due to their reluctance to have Vasily Semyonov as a priest in their church, the priest’s place would be idle , which he would like to occupy. At this time, Pyotr Leontiev was the deacon of the church, and Semyon Vasiliev was the sexton. The place of the priest was idle, since the former Vasily Semenov “for his various demands on the parishioners” was removed by the diocesan authorities from the Glebov parish altogether “and demoted to a clergy position for a year.” Novoselov was 24 years old at that time and had just left the seminary (l. 4).
On July 26, Archbishop Gregory gives Novoselov a “Permit” for his proper promotion to the requested place with permission for him to marry “with an unhindered female person of clergy rank.” By September 22, 1835, Ilya Novoselov was married to the girl Natalya, the daughter of a deacon. After which the candidate for priesthood was sent to Moscow, where Bishop Dionysius first ordained him a deacon, and he was ordained a priest by Bishop Isidore of Dmitrov on October 20, 1835. From Novoselov’s subsequent report it is clear that on November 17, 1835, he began serving in the Glebovsky Church.
In 1848, parishioners of the Glebovskaya Church asked for permission to begin raising funds and building a new brick church instead of the old wooden one.
In August 1851, John Kosmin (Ivan Kuzmin) of Kazan was appointed priest in the church in the village of Glebovo, and already in September of the same year he submitted a petition to the consistory to surrender his newly received position due to old age (he was 52 years old). The priest asked permission to rent out his place in the Glebovskaya church to one of the students who would marry his daughter.
The consistory allowed Kazansky to rent out a place in the church in the village of Glebovo to a student who would take his daughter as his wife. In October of the same year, the priest reported that he had been dismissed from this position, and Ilya Belgorodsky, a student who graduated from the seminary, wanted to take this position, whom the parishioners of the village of Glebovo also wanted, about which Belgorodsky wrote to the consistory. It is very interesting that in the case of his appointment to the Glebov Church there is “Approval” of this new candidate for priest from the landowner Olga Mikhailovna Saltykova.
On November 11, 1851, Ilya Belgorodsky was married to the daughter of Father John, and on November 26 he was ordained a priest, receiving an appointment to the church in the village of Glebova. It can be assumed that he served in this church for 13-14 years.
Around 1865, Mikhail Belgorodsky became the priest of this church, who in 1884, in his petition to the Archbishop of Tverskoye, mentions that he served as a priest of this church for 18-19. This file also states that a new stone church was built and consecrated in 1856 with a stone bell tower. The old wooden one was dismantled in 1860. The clergy at the church now consisted of only the rector and the psalm-reader. There were 205 parish courts, in which there were 695 male and 876 female souls.
From the inventory of the church, compiled in the same 1884, it follows that in fact the construction of the three-altar church lasted from the early 50s to 1876. The first chapel on the right side of the church was consecrated in honor of the Pochaev Icon of the Mother of God, then in 1856 - the chapel on the left side in honor of the Prophet Elijah, and only in 1873 the real church in honor of the Epiphany of the Lord, and the bell tower was completed in 1876.
Archival materials about this church, its parish and clergy for the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries. not found.
On May 25, 2019, students of Sunday schools of the Dubna-Taldom deanery, led by priest Dionysius Makhov, took part in the XVIII Festival of physical and spiritual culture of students of Sunday schools in the Moscow region. The festival took place at the Meteor stadium in Zhukovsky and brought together more than 600 children from 51 deaneries of the Moscow region. Teams competed in “Fun Starts”, combined track and field relay, mini-football, small towns, and tug-of-war. The Dubna-Taldom deanery team of 14 children and two adults was able to win the tug-of-war twice.

On March 23 and 24, 2019, in the village of Glebovo and in the village of Staraya Hotcha, Taldomsky district, as part of the Orthodox Book Day, the event “Orthodox Books - in Good Hands!” was held. At the end of the service in the Church of the Epiphany in the village of Glebovo and in the Church of the Resurrection of the Lord in the village of Staraya Khotcha, parishioners were invited to take Orthodox literature as a gift: “The Law of God”, “Conversations on the Gospel of Mark” by priest Vasily Kineshemsky, books by St. Ignatius Brianchaninov and others books of spiritual content. Familiarization with Orthodox literature and the transfer of books aroused great interest and gratitude from the villagers.
20.8.18 A deputy will help build a stage near the temple
On August 20, 2018, Moscow Regional Duma deputy Alexander Orlov held a reception for residents of Taldom on personal issues. Appeals mainly related to improving housing conditions, employment, allocation of land plots, and provision of material assistance. All the problems with which people came to the chosen one of the people were taken under his personal control. Priest Dionysius Makhov, rector of the Epiphany Church in the village of Glebovo, also came to the reception. The parishioners love this temple very much and help in its repair as much as they can. On the territory of the temple, spiritual and educational work is constantly carried out and events are held with schoolchildren, students and parishioners. Alexander Orlov promised to assist priest Dionysius in organizing the construction of a stage near the temple.

01/19/16 Feast of the Epiphany in the village of Glebovo, Taldom district
The Kazan Church was built through the efforts of the owner of the Glebovo estate S.S. Shilovsky. The temple was built in the period from 1845-1859. designed by architect K.A. tone, the prototype for his composition was the St. Petersburg Church of the Horse Guards Regiment.
The five-tent, four-pillar temple on a high base, with a basement for the Shilovsky crypt, is completed with a massive light octagon and corner belfry towers. Imbued with the spirit of romanticism, the architecture of the temple is original and picturesque. The inside of the church was very richly decorated: white marble floors, a gilded wooden iconostasis, which contained the revered image of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God, in a silver frame with gilding and precious stones (the most valuable icon disappeared without a trace in 1917)
In the first years of Soviet power, the temple was destroyed and looted. Currently, the church is under restoration, and parish life is being resumed there.
In 1998, the Kazan Church was handed over to believers (it celebrated its 155th anniversary in 2014); priest Vladimir Matveev was its rector. In 2003, priest Alexander Cheprasov, a graduate of the Moscow Theological Academy, was appointed rector of the Kazan Church. From that moment on, regular services began. On November 4, 2003, on the patronal feast of the church, the first prayer service was served. In 2004, the sacred plate-Antimins was received, and on July 21 of the same year, on the day of the discovery of the icon of the Kazan Mother of God, the first Divine Liturgy in the last 70 years took place. At a distance of 700 m from the temple, in a picturesque larch grove, there is a holy spring. In 2007, with the blessing of Metropolitan Juvenaly, a chapel-bath in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God was erected above the source. Descendants of the temple builder, landowner S.S. Shilovsky is the family of the famous actor and director V.N. Shilovsky, takes an active part in the revival of the Kazan Church. At the beginning of 2007, 9 bells weighing from 8 to 700 kg were installed on the temple belfry, and in February 2008 a large bell “Blagovest” weighing 1200 kg was installed.

Temple of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God in the village. Glebovo is an architectural monument of the 19th century. Built in 1859 at the expense of the landowner Major and Cavalier Stepan Stepanovich Shilovsky, who was buried in the church along with his mother and wife. The temple was built according to the design of the outstanding architect K.A. Tona, who is also known as the creator of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, the Armory Chamber, and the Grand Kremlin Palace.
The great Russian composer P.I. visited and lived for a long time at the Shilovsky estate. Chaikovsky. The best, in the composer’s opinion, pages of the opera “Eugene Onegin” were created here. Here Tchaikovsky worked on the ballet Swan Lake. A.P. Chekhov called the estate “a little Versailles”, about which he wrote in his notes: “The estate is beautiful, cozy, with a beautiful park, with a river, ponds... with a church, an art workshop, with statues and monuments...”.
In 1938, the temple, like many other temples, was desecrated and destroyed. Hieromartyr Alexy (Smirnov), who carried out pastoral ministry for forty years, was shot at the training ground in Butovo, was rehabilitated in 1989, and in 2002 he was canonized and included in the Council of New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia.
At the end of the 80s of the 20th century, work began on the reconstruction of the temple, but in subsequent years this work was not carried out. At a distance of 700 m from the Church of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God, in a picturesque larch grove, there is the holy Kazan spring with a bathhouse.

The Kazan Church in Glebov is a typical landowner temple. It was built on an old noble estate at the expense of its owner - a nobleman of the Tambov province, major and cavalier Stepan Stepanovich Shilovsky. Having established himself in Glebov, Stepan Stepanovich decided to turn his estate near Moscow into a center of cultural life, where it would be shameless to host famous figures of Russian culture. And active landscaping work began here. The main manor house was rebuilt, outbuildings and guest houses appeared, the Maglusha River was blocked with a dam, ponds with baths were created... Twenty-year-old Mussorgsky, visiting Glebovo for the first time, enthusiastically wrote to M. Balakirev: “Dear Milius... a luxurious manor house, on the mountain; The English garden is wonderful... everything is magnificent, the church is small, a kind of cathedral.” This “cathedral” was the Kazan Church, just built by S.S. Shilovsky. A petition has been preserved sent by Stepan Stepanovich Shilovsky to the Metropolitan of Moscow and Kolomna Philaret (Drozdov) and concerning the stone church planned by the landowner. It is possible to quote him: “My estate, the village of Glebovo, with the villages of Vysokovy and Gorki, in which there are more than 150 male souls, consists of the parish Church of the Nativity of Christ in the village of Filatov, Zvenigorod district, for three miles, and the road running from this estate to the village of Filatov is generally mountainous , and in autumn and spring, during bad weather and flooding, it becomes impassable, which is why the peasants of this estate endure constant difficulties in communicating with the parish church and the parish of the village of Filatov, and especially when it is necessary to baptize weak babies or perform funeral services for the bodies of the deceased... Therefore, presenting for the archpastoral consideration of Your Eminence the plan, façade and section of the proposed church... I humbly ask you to allow me, according to these drawings, to build a stone cemetery church in my village of Glebov at my expense and on this request of mine to make the most merciful archpastoral resolution.”
Saint Philaret did not refuse the “most merciful” request, and soon a beautiful church grew up in Glebov, consecrated in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God and assigned to the Nativity Church of nearby Filatov. It is not known how Shilovsky obtained the “plan, facade and section of the proposed church,” but all these documents turned out to be of the most extraordinary nature, for the author of the Kazan temple in Glebov was the court architect of Emperor Nicholas I, who “invented” a new style of Russian architecture - the creator of the Moscow temple Christ the Savior Konstantin Andreevich Ton. The Kazan Church itself was erected surprisingly quickly, almost in a year, and was a smaller copy of the famous St. Petersburg church - the Annunciation Church of the Horse Guards Regiment. Stepan Stepanovich did not leave the Shilovsky temple, which grew up on his estate near Moscow, with his worries. The church was richly decorated; for the needs of the clergy, the landowner deposited eight thousand rubles in the bank “for eternity” - at the rate of payment of five percent per annum. Guests who came to the Shilovsky estate in the second half of the 19th century were forever fascinated by it and among themselves called these places “Phoebus Glebov” (Phoebus is one of the names of the ancient Russian god Apollo, patron of the arts) or “little Versailles.” The elegant Kazan Church fit well into this image. Alas, in the twentieth century little remained of its beauty; By the end of the Soviet era, the once beautiful building had turned into ruins.
This is how the “Moscow Diocesan Gazette”, published since 1869, described in 1875 the Kazan cemetery church in the village of Glebovo, attached to the Nativity Church in Filatovo, stone, warm, built at the expense of the landowner Major and Cavalier Stepan Stepanovich Shilovsky, with four towers in the corners, of which, on the two to the west, bells and fighting clocks are placed": "And outside, and especially inside the temple, everything is arranged magnificently. In the iconostasis, all the holy icons, as well as in the altar, were painted by artists, and the iconostasis is completely gilded with mordan (adhesive mixture, oil varnish), with beautiful carvings, gilded with polyment (an adhesive composition of a dark brown hue for gilding); the choirs are built up, along a twisted cast-iron staircase, and the floor is all made of Podolsk marble; around the temple there is a small stone fence with a beautiful iron lattice. In the middle of the church there is hung a bronze gilded chandelier containing 50 lamps, arranged pyramidally, with a large red glass oil lamp at the bottom, weighing 15 pounds, costing 1,200 silver rubles. Sacred utensils, candlesticks, priestly and deaconal vestments, all this is arranged richly, with special taste and magnificently; everything in the church, down to the smallest detail, breathes with some kind of peculiarity and grace." The clergy then consisted of a priest, a sexton and a sexton. They also had their own land on which they built "their own wooden houses" for the clergy...
In the 1880s, the estate gradually fell into disrepair and in 1887, Konstantin Stepanovich Shilovsky, who owed a serious amount to the bank, was forced to put the Glebov estate up for sale. Glebovo changed hands several times - somehow it turned out that each new owner very quickly became bankrupt and got rid of the recent acquisition. This state of affairs did not benefit either the once well-groomed estate or its wonderful church. In 1931, a local newspaper, in a rather ironic manner towards believers, announced the immediate plans of the authorities. The article reported that in the “poultry farming giant” state farm “Glebovo” there are 500 workers and members of their families; there is nowhere for them to engage in cultural development, just as there is no place to hold “mass meetings”. Meanwhile, the Kazan Church stands nearby, which is visited by “13-17 old women.” The workers are eager to occupy this premises for cultural and educational needs, but their appeals remain unanswered, and therefore they say that “this matter smells of right-wing opportunism.” The accusations at that time were very serious, and already six months after the cited article appeared in the newspaper, the temple was closed. In 1937, they got to the bells, sending them to be melted down - “for the needs of communism.” The conversations about the club, however, did not translate into any practical actions, no one was going to convert the church building into a club, and, having more or less safely survived the last two months of 1941, when the most severe battles with the Nazis unfolded in the Glebov area, the temple remained abandoned .
By the end of the 1980s, it looked terrifying: no crosses, no windows, no doors, with the main tent falling apart, with mountains of rubbish inside. In 1989, in the wake of the coming changes, the Glebov poultry farm thought about restoring the monument, but the matter was limited to the conservation of the building; there were not enough funds for more, in the conditions of the then economic and social catastrophe. In 1998, the Kazan Church was returned to believers. Its real revival, with regular services and extensive renovations, should be counted from 2003, when its current rector, priest Alexander Cheprasov, was appointed to the temple. Nothing has been preserved from the previous decoration of the Kazan Church. Nothing, with the exception of just one icon of the Tikhvin Mother of God, which miraculously returned to its home recently and united, through years of timelessness, two eras in the history of the church: pre-revolutionary and modern. Eras when the temple fulfilled its main role: it was a house of prayer.
When, in the late 1830s, Konstantin Ton worked on the project of the Annunciation Church of the Horse Guards Regiment in St. Petersburg, his idea of a five-tent church was arch-revolutionary for domestic architecture, which was then content with the aesthetics of classicism, which had been turned into a stereotype. At the same time, the architect “only” wanted to return to the roots, to ancient Russian tent architecture, that is, he did not invent anything special new, but used what appeared and “worked” long before him, but at some point, under Patriarch Nikon, turned out to be banned. The Church of the Annunciation was later built, Emperor Nicholas I liked the project extremely, and he proposed to collect similar Tonov projects under one cover as exemplary ones, which in the future should be compared to when building Orthodox churches in Russia. No sooner said than done; and in the following decades, several “clones” of the Annunciation Church were erected in the country; The Kazan Church in the village of Glebovo is one of them. It is worth making a reservation - all these “clones” were quite approximate, they were built “based on” the Annunciation Church, with considerable differences in details. The entire rich, but at the same time unobtrusive, harmonious decor of the temple is highlighted in white, as if leading from detail to detail in our opinion. At the bottom there are complex jagged cornices of triangular pediments, “semi-octagonal” pilasters, intricate window frames, at the top there are more classical pilasters (the pilasters of the side towers are profiled), kokoshnik belts (triangular projections above the lower belt, in principle, can also be interpreted as kokoshniks) , octagon cornice. Two western side towers were identified for hanging the bells. In the northwestern one there are nine bells weighing from eight to seven hundred kilograms, in the southwestern one there is a large bell “Blagovest”, weighing 1.2 tons. Before the revolution, the northwestern tower displayed the dial of a chiming clock, lost during the Soviet years. Now they have been renewed - according to the surviving drawings. The Kazan Church has one apse, semicircular in shape, with two traditionally designed windows for this church. The decor of the apse organically fits into the overall decor; we don’t see anything different from it here, except perhaps the valance under the overhang of the roof. The vestibule, as it were, sets the music for the entire temple, for its elements are repeated literally everywhere - on the facades, side and central tents, in windows, etc. Among these elements are corner “semi-octagonal” pilasters with jagged capitals, a triangular completion that “rhymes” with the pediments, stylized entrance portal, side windows.
Let us note that Stepan Stepanovich Shilovsky built the Kazan Church not only as a cemetery church, but also as a family tomb. Therefore, the building was placed on a high plinth; Under the floor, in the basement, a crypt was built for the burial of deceased family members. Now this crypt does not exist. The Kazan Church in Glebov is four-pillar, five-roofed, built according to the exemplary design of Konstantin Ton. The dimensions of the church are as follows: length (without apse) - more than 17.5 meters, without vestibule - 14.5 meters; width - more than 12 meters. The main quadrangle in plan is an “approximate” square with a side of about 12 meters, its height is about 20 meters.
