Naryshkin Baroque

The member of this family that is most related with this style of architecture is Lev Kirillovich Naryshkin, the uncle of Peter the Great.[4] The St. Peter and Paul Cathedral in St. Petersburg, and the Menshikov Tower in Moscow, are notable examples of the Petrine Baroque style.[5] The churches designed in the Naryshkin Baroque style were often built in red brick, which differed them from other buildings of the time.[7] The bell towers were often built in the shape of an octagon, with the main volume of the building being a quadrangle.[6] The most important architects that worked in the Naryshkin Baroque style were Yakov Bukhvostov[6] and Pyotr Potapov.His name is known exclusively by the inscription on the Assumption Church, which reads "The summer of 7204 (1699) October 25 is the work of human hands, the work of Pyotr Potapov" (Russian: лета 7204 [1699] октября 25 дня дело рук человеческих, делом именем Петрушка Потапов).
The Assumption Church on Pokrovka Street, Moscow is a notable example of Naryshkin Baroque architecture. This church is no longer standing, as it was demolished in 1936. [ 1 ]
