The history of this organization goes back several centuries, but little is known about it. Its activities are shrouded in mystery. There are legends about its power. Of course, we are talking about the great brotherhood of "free masons" or masons. Do you still think that the masons are somewhere far away? Or maybe a fantasy of idle dreamers? Join us on a tour of the Masonic Moscow.
During the tour we will visit Sukharevskaya Square, where the first Russian Masonic lodge, the Neptune Society, once gathered. We’ll try to find the mysterious symbolism in the guise of the mansions of the German Quarter and recall several legends about their owners. The narrow alleys of the historic Chertolye remind us of the many circles of Decembrists who gathered in the homes of local nobility. The Ivanovsky Convent and the old mansion with thirteen windows in Taganka will bring the image of the Khlysty with their shocking rites to life.
You will learn:
- Who were the most famous masons of the XVIII-XIX centuries J. Bruce, N. Novikov, A. Labzin and others were famous.
- How Alexander Pushkin, Alexander Griboyedov, Mikhail Kutuzov, Mikhail Lermontov and other famous people related to the masonry. The connection between the Masonic lodges and the Decembrist circles.
- The Masonic mark in the history of the construction of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior and in the appearance of the Moscow Kremlin.
- What secrets were kept by the Sacred Artel, Order of Russian Knights and Circle of the Sixteen societies.
- Where in Moscow traces of the Templars and Rosicrucians can be found.
