About the Church of the Twelve Apostles

The Church of the Twelve Apostles, part of the Patriarchal Chambers, is a minor cathedral inside the Moscow Kremlin. Patriarch Nikon commissioned it in 1653 as part of his stately residence, and in 1656 it was dedicated to Philip the Apostle. It is used by the Moscow Kremlin Museums, and the chambers hold a museum devoted to Russian applied arts and daily life in the 17th century.

Two large arches cut through the high podium beneath the church, letting people pass between Cathedral Square and the patriarch's courtyard. This placement makes it almost as prominent as the grand 15th-century cathedrals beside it. Two belts of columned arches on the exterior walls refer to the neighboring cathedrals and to the 12th-century Vladimir-Suzdal school of great churches that inspired them. Its outline of five helmeted domes suited Nikon's conservative tastes and stresses the church's Byzantine pedigree.

In 1652–1656 the older buildings came down, and a house church and three-story chambers were erected in their place, consecrated in 1656. Copper sheets covered the roofs and crosses, which were gilded. Exhibits include artworks, religious and household items, embroidery, books, icons, tableware, jewelry and clocks.
