Where to stay in Ochakovo-Matveyevskoye
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Ochakovo-Matveyevskoye is a residential district of Moscow, thin on hotels and given over mostly to housing. Its landmarks are quiet ones. They are the old Troyekurovo estate, the churches of Ochakovo and Troyekurovo, and the greenery around them rather than a hotel quarter, so most travellers pass through rather than stay.
Hotel rooms are thin on the ground in this housing-heavy corner of Moscow. Stay here if you want a low-key base near the Church of Saint Demetrius of Rostov in Ochakovo, with central Moscow reached by metro.
About Ochakovo-Matveyevskoye
What are the main landmarks in Ochakovo-Matveyevskoye?
Ochakovo-Matveyevskoye's landmarks split between its two old villages. The Church of Saint Demetrius of Rostov in Ochakovo and the Church of Saint Nicholas in Troyekurovo stand at either end, while the old Troyekurovo estate and the Troyekurovo Cemetery fill the ground between them. The cemetery draws visitors.
Among those buried at Troyekurovo Cemetery is the Soviet aviator Mikhail Vodopyanov, one of several public figures whose graves mark the district.
What is the history of Ochakovo-Matveyevskoye?
Ochakovo-Matveyevskoye takes its double name from the old settlements of Ochakovo and Troyekurovo. Each began as a village outside Moscow, with the Troyekurovo estate and its church, the Church of Saint Nicholas in Troyekurovo, marking the manor ground before the city grew out to absorb them both. The villages came first.
Their parish churches and the estate survived the change, and the Troyekurovo Cemetery later became one of Moscow's noted burial grounds.
Where is Ochakovo-Matveyevskoye?
Ochakovo-Matveyevskoye sits in Moscow where its two old villages, Ochakovo and Troyekurovo, meet around the Troyekurovo estate.
