The city is famous for its high spiritual culture and has on its territory several churches that have long become Orthodox shrines of the region and are well-known places of pilgrimage for believers in Russia. On numerous photos temples of Perm are presented in all their grandeur and grandeur.
Peter and Paul Cathedral
The temple was founded in 1757 and is the oldest stone building in the city. The low baroque church once attracted the many views that sailed travelers on the Kama River.
In the Soviet years, the temple was closed, and the property was nationalized. They tried to adapt the building for various purposes, but in 1990 the cathedral was returned to believers. Now it is an active church. The schedule of services of the temple of Perm can be found on the official website of the organization.
The cathedral has great historical significance and is an object of cultural heritage of Russia. Located at: st. Sovetskaya, house 1.
Trinity Church
The church was built in 1849 on Mount Sludka, originally it was called Sludskaya. The temple was erected at the expense of the local merchant E. Shavkunov, had three chapels and a parish school. The church flourished until the revolution - its members were the majority of Perm residents.
After 1917, money and church utensils were confiscated in favor of the Soviet state. In the 1930s, the temple was converted into a weapons depot, but already in 1944 it was returned to believers, although active restoration work began only in 2004.
Now the temple is completely restored and is the current Holy Trinity Cathedral of the Perm Diocese. The church is located on the street. Monastery, building 95.
Transfiguration Cathedral
The next temple in Perm is a real architectural decoration of the city and an object of cultural heritage of the country. The cathedral is located on Komsomolsky Avenue. Now an art gallery is open within its walls.
In 1560, on the banks of the Kama River in the small village of Pyskor, the Transfiguration of the Savior monastery was founded, which in 1781 it was decided to transfer to Perm. The move stretched for 12 whole years. After the arrangement of the monastery in a new place in 1798, the grandiose construction of the Transfiguration Church began in its walls.
The temple is made in a mixed style - the features of Russian classicism smoothly intertwined with European Baroque. Later, the monastery was renamed the Bishop's House, and the small Keleyny church located on the territory of the monastery was renamed into the Cross-Mitrofanovsky Church.
The bishop’s cemetery, demolished in 1931, adjoined the eastern wall of the cathedral. Now at this place is a zoo.
Ascension Feodosievsky temple
This church is one of the last in Perm, built before the revolution. Its original name is the Church of the Ascension of the Lord. The temple building was erected from 1903 to 1904 with donations from citizens. The history of the Ascension Church in Perm was negatively affected by the division of the Orthodox Church into two different streams.
After the revolution, the parish community broke up into 2 camps, which led the profitable church to great losses. In 1930, the temple was closed. The Soviet authorities converted the building into a bakery, which worked here for many decades.
The building of the Perm Church was returned to believers in 1991. Now the building has been restored and it has been given the status of an architectural monument of local importance.
The church is located at: st. Borchaninova, building 11.
Church of the Assumption
The Assumption Church of Perm was built in 1905 and is located on the territory of the old Yegoshikhinsky city cemetery. It was built on the site of a small wooden church in the name of All Saints, which by that time was in dilapidated condition.
The rectangular building of the church is crowned with onion domes, and the bell tower with a tented dome. The facades of the temple are decorated with various decorative elements - kokoshniks, belts, bowls and columns.
In Soviet times, there was a city movie distribution warehouse. In 1970, the building was badly damaged by fire. The Assumption Church in Perm was restored by the forces of citizens in 1989.
