Историческая справка

The first wooden church of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary was built between the 7th and 8th liniya V.O. by 1741 with funds of wine tax farmer Irodion Chirkin. In 1750, the construction of a new stone church began to the south of it. It was financed by the same Irodion Chirkin and his son Ivan. The construction of the Baroque-style building took a lot of time: the first side-chapel was consecrated in 1762 and the bell tower was erected only in the 1790’s. The finished church could accommodate about five thousand people. In 1859, Academician of Painting Roman Vinogradov decorated the church with ornamental painting. Three years later, on the occasion of its centenary, the Society for Assistance to the Poor was created under the church. It operated an alms-house, a school, and a girls’ shelter. In 1870, a parsonage (70, 7th liniya) for priests was completed under the church.
In 1936, the church was closed and the icons were destroyed. The church was reinstated in 1992.
