Историческая справка
The Church of Saints Cosmas and Damian in Old Panei is a Russian Orthodox church dedicated to the twin Saints Cosmas and Damian, Christian martyrs of the 4th century.
In the 16th century, there was the "Old Pans" compound, where was the Polish "Pansky Yard" (in front of the currently existing church of St Varvara in Varvarka Street), trade and diplomatic missions of Poland in Moscow. The compound is mentioned in the report of a fire in Kitay-gorod in 1508. The Moscow citizens often called this place "Pans" (a Polish term of respect).
The wooden church was built on this site in 1462. In 1564, it burned down and a new one was built in stone on its place. In 1803, the church was rebuilt in the Classicism style, receiving a new refectory and bell tower. In 1926-1927, the temple was rebuilt and crowned with a two-hipped roof, the ancient form of portals and platbands was restored. But soon after it, the church was closed, and in 1930 it was deliberately disfigured. All the previous restoration works were destroyed. For a long time the building housed the office of General Administration for Traffic Safety and later some commercial firms.
In 1995, the temple was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church and services were resumed. At present, the northern part of the church, facing Staropansky Lane, has been restored.
