A short walk in any weather: the church that gave our street its name, and the quiet imperial dacha, "where no one was admitted without an appointment."
Stops
- St Seraphim's Church — The church of the metochion of the Diveyevo Monastery — the street takes its name from it.
- Sobstvennaya Dacha (the Imperial Private Dacha) — An estate where 'no one was admitted without announcement'. Alexander II spent his honeymoon here.
