The building was constructed in 1914-1916 in honor of the 100th anniversary of the Victory in the Patriotic War of 1812. It was consecrated in 1916. One of the first priests was Eugene Landyshev. He was arrested in 1917: "Fr. (Father) Eugene is the publisher of a reference book for priests. He gives instructions how to deal with socialism, and also criticizes Bebel ".
