The large five-tent church was built by architects A.F. Meisner and A.A. Nikiforov in 1894-1897 as the main temple of the Clinical Campus of Moscow University on the Maiden Field. In 1931, the temple was closed for the organization of the workers' club of the Rubber plant in it. At various times, the building housed a "cultural light room", a gym, a pharmacy, a warehouse, and an institute museum. The heads and the bell tower were demolished, new windows were pierced, the interior decoration was completely destroyed, partitions were arranged. The dilapidated temple stood until the 1990s, when funds were found for its restoration. The great consecration of the temple took place on September 19, 2002, on the day when the Church remembers the miracle of the holy Archangel Michael in Honeh. The consecration was performed by Patriarch Alexy II of Moscow and All Russia.
Большая пятишатровая церковь была построена архитекторами А.Ф. Мейснером и А.А. Никифоровым в 1894—1897 гг. как главный храм Клинического городка Московского университета на Девичьем поле. В 1931 году храм закрыли для организации в нем рабочего клуба завода «Каучук». В здании в разное время располагались «культпросветчитальня», спортзал, аптека, склад, институтский музей. Главы и колокольня были снесены, пробиты новые окна, внутренняя отделка полностью уничтожена, устроены перегородки. Полуразрушенным храм простоял до 1990-х гг., когда нашлись средства на его восстановление. Великое освящение храма состоялось 19 сентября 2002 года, в день, когда Церковь вспоминает чудо святого архистратига Михаила в Хонех. Освящение совершил Патриарх Московский и всея Руси Алексий II.

Деревянная приходская церковь Воскресения уже стояла на месте собора к 1629 году. В 1655 году была написана чудотворная икона Шуйской-Смоленской Божьей Матери иконописцем из Шуи, Герасимом Иконниковым. В 1667 году была возведена каменная церковь взамен деревянной, но сгорела в 1710 году. Строительство современного храма продолжалось в 1792-98 годах на средства прихожан. 19 сентября 1799 года епископ Владимирский и Суздальский Виктор освятил собор. Уцелевший во время пожаров чудотворный образ был перенесён в храм.

VIANA DO CASTELO (Portugal): Fortim da Areosa.
Implantado numa enseada localizada no extremo da Praia Norte, na freguesia da Areosa, em Viana do Castelo, o Fortim da Areosa corresponde a uma fortificação de planta estrelada de pequenas dimensões. A estrutura é composta por quatro ângulos, ou redentes. Na face virada a terra, os redentes são ligados por cortina de alvenaria de pedra, em ângulo invertido, onde foi rasgada a porta de acesso, de arco de volta perfeita. Na face virada ao mar os redentes flanqueiam a bateria, em forma de meia-lua, com plataforma a barbete. No espaço interior encontram-se vestígios de edificações e da rampa de acesso à bateria.
Atualmente, e apesar de ter sofrido danos na estrutura, o fortim integra um dos percursos ambientais dos arredores da cidade de Viana do Castelo.
História
O Fortim da Areosa foi erigido na última década do século XVII, por ordem do monarca D. Pedro II, para reforçar o sistema defensivo então existente na zona costeira do Alto Minho. Este pequeno reduto militar tinha como objetivo reforçar a defesa da barra do rio Lima e do porto de Viana da Foz do Lima, cruzando fogo com a Fortaleza de Santiago, localizada poucos quilómetros a sudeste. A edificação terá sido levantada entre os últimos anos de Seiscentos e 1701, data apontada por Figueiredo da Guerra para a sua conclusão (GUERRA: 1926, p. 689).
Esta estrutura defensiva integra-se num conjunto de fortificações construídas entre as zonas de Vila Praia de Âncora e Esposende, numa época posterior à Guerra da Restauração, cujas semelhanças planimétricas e o facto de terem sido erigidas no mesmo período permitem considerar que na última década de Seiscentos foi elaborado um plano construtivo de novas estruturas militares para reforçar a linha de defesa da fronteira noroeste do Reino. Na zona entre os rios Minho e Lima foram erigidos os fortes do Cão e da Lagarteira, e os fortins da Areosa e de Montedor, que viriam assim reforçar o poder de fogo das fortalezas já existentes no litoral minhoto, então considerado insuficiente.
Este fortim, também conhecido localmente como Forte da Vinha ou Castelo Velho, apresenta flagrantes semelhanças com o Forte do Cão, em Caminha, sendo possível que, à semelhança deste, integrasse baluartes nos vértices.
Depois da sua desativação militar, o Fortim da Areosa foi votado ao abandono. Foi classificado como de interesse público em 1970, poucoas anos depois da classificação do conjunto de fortes acima citados. A estrutura recebeu obras de consolidação e restauro em 1972, 1973 e 1978, realizadas pela Direcção-Geral dos Edifícios e Monumentos Nacionais. No ano de 1983 a afetação só espaço foi transferida para a alçada da Comissão Regional de Turismo do Alto Minho. Cerca do ano 2000, foi elaborado o projeto do Centro de Interpretação e Apoio a Percursos Ambientais, da autoria do arquiteto Luís Teles, para ser instalado nas imediações do fortim.
