Despite the order of Peter I about the urgency of the construction of the monastery and the monument, as well as the allocation of funds for the construction, the business moved forward very slowly.
In 1840, at the suggestion of the Governor-General, Count Stroganov, a project competition was held for the construction of the church. Among the projects presented, the priority was given to the project of the architect J.-J. (Joseph Ivanovich) Charlemagne (1782-1861). The foundation of the church was laid on June 27, 1852. Its construction, which was carried out under the supervision of the local architect Khoruzhenko, was completed in 1856. The church, built on the model of Old Slavic Byzantine churches, was consecrated on July 15, 1856.
