The Temple of the Assumption of the Most Holy Mother of God
Historical facts about the Church of the Assumption of the Most Holy Theotokos in Vladivostok
The Temple of the Assumption of the Most Holy Theotokos in Vladivostok was founded in 1861 as the first wooden church of the city. The first service was held in 1862, and in 1863 the first children of Vladivostok were baptized here. In 1876, the construction of a new stone cathedral began, which was consecrated in 1889 and became a cathedral in 1899.
The cathedral became the first stone building in the Russian style in Vladivostok. The building was built in the traditions of the early Russian style, most accurately reflected in the works of K. A. Ton and his school. The Assumption Cathedral, built by a “ship”, that is, with a bell tower attached to the axis of the building, in many ways resembled a church in the name of the Annunciation of the Most Holy Theotokos in St. Petersburg.
In the Soviet period, the temple was closed, and in 1938 it was destroyed. In its place, a residential house was built, but in 1997 the preserved cathedral house was transferred to the diocese, and the Assumption Church was revived in it. Today, this place is an important spiritual center and a reminder of the rich history of Orthodoxy in Primorye
