The Church of the Nativity of Christ in the village of Yurkino is one of six surviving patrimonial stone churches in the Moscow region, which were built at the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries. An object of cultural heritage of the peoples of the Russian Federation of federal significance.
In the 20th century, the monument was repeatedly examined and was determined to be of significant architectural value. Presumably, the church was built by one of the Italian masters who worked in Rus'. This is confirmed by the most important typological feature of the church - a groin vault covering the pointed quadrangle of the church with cross-pierced formwork with a light drum in the center.
According to the historian and restorer architect V.V. Kavelmakher, "in the Church of the Nativity of Christ, in addition to proportional perfection and fine detailing, one is struck by some kind of complexity of design, a mysterious depth of architectural idea that defies ordinary classification methods."
In April 1922, church valuables were confiscated, and in the late 1930s, the church was closed. Restoration work has been underway since 2014.
