The Church of All Saints at Kulishki stands at 2 Slavyanskaya Square in the historic center of Moscow. The first wooden church was built by Dmitry Donskoy, most likely in 1380 after the Battle of Kulikovo. It was rebuilt in stone in 1488. From 1687 to 1689 it was rebuilt again in the Muscovite Baroque style. It has a notable leaning bell tower.
The church was looted after the October Revolution and closed in 1930. In 1975 it was transferred to the Museum of History of Moscow, and in 1991 it was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church. A cross in memory of victims of Soviet repressions was placed in 1994.
On March 31, 1999, the metochion of the Eastern Orthodox Church of Alexandria moved here from Odesa to Moscow.
