The Holy Trinity Cathedral is the only church in Russia dedicated to Tsarevich Alexei as a passion-bearer and built and consecrated during his lifetime. The lower church has a separate dedication: it is dedicated to the holy martyrs Vera, Nadezhda, and Lyubov and their mother Sophia. The cathedral and its lower church therefore reflect distinct religious themes.

Regular services are held, and the sacrament of baptism is also administered there. If attending a service is part of your plans, check the times in advance.

The Shchyolkovo Historical and Art Museum is housed in a building constructed in 1911 that previously accommodated the cloth factory of the joint-stock company “Alexander Sinitsyn and Sons.” The building’s former use gives it a distinct connection to industrial history.

On the ground floor, a large hall is divided into the sections “Ethnography,” “Flora and Fauna,” and “Industrial Development.” The topics range from human culture and nature to industrial development. Together with the building’s former use, this offers an introduction to several different subjects without reducing them to a single historical perspective.

The city park for culture and recreation was established shortly before the 40th anniversary of the October Revolution and was initially named after the event. Its founding and original name are part of the park’s history; the beach is a separate, seasonal reason to visit.

During the warm season, the beach is popular with residents and visitors to the city. It is equipped with amenities; check the park’s current notices before your visit.

The Amerievsky Dolomite Quarry lies in the area around Shchyolkovo and Amerevo, on the left bank of the Klyazma. It is 20 kilometers from Moscow. It is therefore a destination in the surrounding area, while the Holy Trinity Cathedral, museum, and city park are located in Shchyolkovo.

After the mining limits were reached, the quarry was flooded as part of land reclamation. It is considered a recreation area offering water and views. The flooding and its current status as a recreation area distinguish it thematically from the city park beach.
