During the reign of Ivan the Terrible was opened "tsar's tavern" for guardsmen who served for free at the expense of the treasury, and because this area was called "Endova", which means "big mug of beer."

Closed vault with slide keeled corbel arches and columns at the corners of the church with vertical fluting makes it the silhouette slim and energetic. The temple is decorated with a rich cornice on top of the walls and a variety of trims, or with multi Coronaform tops. White stone balusters and outlet complementary piece of the church. White decoration on a red background makes the temple walls are very elegant. The decor of the church is a fine example of Russian "patterns the" 17th century.
