Tikhvin Church, also known as the Church of the Icon of the Mother of God Tikhvin, is located in Novaya Sloboda or Sushchevo. It was built in 1694 on the outskirts of Moscow, in Sushchevo Sloboda, five versts from the Kremlin.

The renowned historian and Moscow expert Pyotr Georgievich Palamarchuk describes this area as follows: "The name comes from the former village of Sushchevo, known since the early 15th century. In the 17th century, there was Sushchevo Sloboda (Old Sushchevo). At the end of the 17th century, the New Sushchevo Sloboda (New Sushchevo) appeared on the site of modern Tikhvin Street." He also notes that Tikhvin Street, the alley, and two dead ends were named in the 19th-20th centuries in honor of the Tikhvin Church that stood on this street.

The church was built with the funds of Moscow merchant Ivan Fedorov Viktorov. The temple icon of the Tikhvin Mother of God was created simultaneously with the church, as evidenced by the inscription on the icon dated 7203, which corresponds to 1695. Fedot Theofanovich Ukhtomsky was responsible for the development of the church's interiors, including the iconostasis and external decor. The church was erected in the baroque style characteristic of Moscow at that time. In 1710, a chapel in honor of Saint Apostle Andrew the First-Called was added to the northern side. Nearby was the estate of Nadezhda Vasilyevna Shepelev, a benefactor of the church, with a pond named Vasilyevsky in honor of Saint Basil the Blessed.

During the war of 1812, the church suffered significant damage, but thanks to the efforts of N.V. Shepeleva and parishioners, a new three-tiered bell tower in the style of late classicism was built in 1825, along with a fence and new gates. A chapel in the name of the Icon of the Mother of God "Joy of All Who Sorrow" appeared on the southern side. The church acquired a three-part form known as "the ship," popular in the 17th century.

In 1902-1903, the church was extensively rebuilt according to the design of architect S.Ya. Yakovlev. Two chapels were added in honor of Saint Theodosius of Chernihiv and Venerable Seraphim of Sarov, bringing the total number of altars in the church to five.

After the 1917 revolution, persecution of churches began. In 1935, the church on Tikhvin Lane was closed and transferred to the Stankoinstrument Institute. From 1984, it was listed as an architectural monument but was not restored.

In 1992, the church was returned to the believers, and the first liturgy took place in December. Restoration began, lasting 20 years.

The church is now restored to its former glory. The chapels, gates, and fence have been restored. The architecture of the church reflects its history: it is an "octagon," characteristic of late 17th-century baroque. The three-tiered bell tower is designed in the Empire style, with a rotunda on the third tier. The church and buildings are painted in white and soft yellow colors typical of Moscow churches of the classicism era. The church can be accessed via Tikhvin Street or Tikhvin Lane.
