Dubrovitsy Church of the Sign is located in the Dubrovitsy manor of the Podolsky district of the Moscow region. Located 2 km from Podolsk, at the confluence of the rivers Pakhra and Desna. (A church on the former Golitsyn estate, Dubrovitsy, Podol’sk Raion, Moscow Oblast.)

The white stone church was built from 1690 to 1704 in a transitional style embracing both late 17th-century Russian architecture and baroque architecture. Centrally planned and quatrefoil it has an octagonal three-storied tower topped with a gilt metal crown. The facades are lavishly decorated with freestanding sculptures and fretwork of white stone; the interior contains high and low stone reliefs that depict a multitude of figures in biblical settings. The wooden iconostasis and the balustrade for the choir are completely covered with gilt carved floral decorations. At the end of the 18th century a manor house in the classical style was built near the church.
