About the place

The church was built of fired brick with state money to a sketch by I. R. Sakovich, completed in 1898 and consecrated in December 1900. It held about 500 people and had a small park beside it. It was closed in 1932 and no longer serves as a church, but the building survives on the former Pushkin street, now Musayev street, opposite the All Saints church.
