Shchusev's church of 1913 with a Konenkov relief and a Roerich mosaic — built for Kharytonenko's icon collection.

The church on the estate of the sugar magnate Pavlo Kharytonenko was founded in 1911 and consecrated in June 1913 to a 1908 design by Aleksei Shchusev; Aleksei Rukhliadev directed the work. The sculptural decoration was by Sergei Konenkov — a two-metre Crucifixion relief on the south facade — Aleksandr Matveev and Sergei Yevseev, with a mosaic icon of the Saviour by Nicholas Roerich above the entrance. The church was built for Kharytonenko's collection of old Rus art — about two hundred icons of the 15th–17th centuries; in 1934 it was closed, under Soviet rule the building served as a boiler house and billiard room, and services resumed in 2001. Nataliivka Park of about 50 hectares has been a landscape monument of national significance since 1990; the estate is named after Kharytonenko's daughter Nataliia.
