Church of St. Philip in Meshchanskaya Sloboda (Moscow)

35 Gilyarovskogo Street, Moscow, Metro station: "Prospekt Mira".

Siberia Metochion is situated on the Church's precincts. The Church was built in 1777–1788 by the architect Matvey Kazakov, who added a rotunda containing the main altar of St. Philip, the Metropolitan of Moscow, to the already existing refectory and bell tower (both built in 1752). On the site of a demolished old church built in the mid-17th century on the site where, in 1652, the relics of St. Philip were met when being translated from Solovetsky Monastery to the Kremlin's Dormition Cathedral. In 1827, the second side-chapel, the one of the Venerable Sergius of Radonezh, was added to the refectory, using the funds of Duke Dolgoruky. The fence with the gate dates from the late 18th century.

Built in the Early Classical style. Its two-storey rotunda (with a rectangular protrusion) featuring decorations of the Doric order. The rotunda is crowned with a cylindrical drum and a fantail roof of the dome; the dome features a belvedere with a sea-through colonnade. Inside, there is a semicircle of 4 Ionic columns and a central rotunda with its egg-shaped coffered vault. he arcades, situated behind the columns and supported by pillars of the Doric order, contain the gallery of choir stalls. The smaller rotunda of the altar part is surrounded by a semicircle of four Corinthian columns. The moulded decor is reminiscent of the round Catherine Room of the Kremlin Senate (this is why it is ascribed to Johann Just). The lower part of the iconostasis was created by Kazakov. The upper one dates from the late 19th century.

The church was shut down in 1929. At first, it was used as a warehouse, then as an office. Among the well-preserved elements are the interior architectural decoration, the fence with the gate, the iconostasis and several icons.

In 1991, the building was handed back to the Russian Orthodox Church and consecrated. In 1992–1997, it was restored.

Sacred objects: the icon of St. Philip, the Metropolitan of Moscow, with relics; the most revered icons: the icon of the Atakskaya Virgin and the icon of Our Lady of Smolensk (17th century).

The complex of Siberia Metochion at the church includes the following: a chapel in honour of the Enlighteners of Siberia (the Venerable Herman of Alaska, St. Innocent of Irkutsk, St. John of Tobolsk and St. Innocent of Moscow), a representation block and a pilgrim block.
