In addition to the cemetery itself, there are many related buildings: the church, as well as RitualStone - a workshop for the production and installation of monuments and fences. Exact address: st. Stalevarov, 6.
History of occurrence
The Ivanovo cemetery was formed several centuries ago. The first mention of the Church of the Nativity of John the Baptist, which is located on its territory, dates back to the XVII century. Accordingly, the first burial began at about the same time. The place where the Ivanovo cemetery was located was part of the palace possessions of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich - the village of Ivanovo. Hence the name.
At the beginning of the XIX century, the temple was restored - it was rebuilt from wooden to stone, the style of which belongs to the early Russian classicism. Later, from 1990 to 1992, there was another restructuring of the church, but with the goal of increasing its area. The last restoration of the temple was in 1996.
How to get there
There are several ways to do this. The most convenient way is to get to the Ivanovo cemetery by metro. Butovo is a large area, and the burial place is located on its outskirts. You need to get out at the Teply Stan station, which is part of the Kaluga-Riga line. After this, you need to make a transfer to bus number 577 and keep the path to the Voskresenskoye state farm. Further to the cemetery is 1.5 km. You can walk or transfer to local transport and drive closer to it.
The second option: get to the metro station "Novogireevo" and there change to bus number 237 or number 247, reaching almost to the appointed place.
To get to the cemetery by car, you need to go along the Kaluga highway. For 7 km from the Moscow Ring Road, turn onto the Voskresenskoye state farm and continue driving in that direction for another 12.5 km. There are other detours, but this is the most visual and simple.
Landscaping
Ivanovo cemetery is one of the most well-groomed in Moscow. There is a lot of vegetation, which gives this place more charm. You can see solid, neat graves, with marble, statues and wrought iron fences, and sometimes completely abandoned gravestones are found. However, looking at their venerable age, one can only be surprised. Such ancient burials remind visitors of the mortality of life and elusive time. Extraordinary silence reigns here.
At the Ivanovo cemetery there are all the necessary amenities: toilet, trash, parking, a place where you can get water. You can visit it at any time of the year at the set hours: in summer, working hours are from 9.00 to 19.00, and in winter - from 9.00 to 17.00. At night, the territory is guarded by specialized services, which protects the place from any kind of hooliganism.
Despite the fact that this cemetery is one of the smallest in Moscow, many famous Russian artists, scientists and other prominent people are buried here. Tombstones made of white stone dating back to the 19th century were also preserved here and there.
