Simbirsk seminary

Simbirsk seminary, Orthodox educational building in Ulyanovsk, Russia

Simbirsk Seminary is a three-storey stone building on Nikolayevskaya Square, opposite the Pokrovsky Monastery, at the corner of Lisinaya Street (now Architect Livchak Street). Designed by Mikhail Alyakrinsky, it was laid on 12 May 1891 and the school moved in on 16 August 1893. It replaced earlier quarters that could not hold more than 500 pupils.

The Simbirsk spiritual school opened on 25 November 1818, renamed from a Russian school moved from Saransk in 1803. It occupied a monastery building until 1833, when it moved into a stone house bought for 1,200 rubles. After an 1864 fire it worked in Syzran until 1868. Its new three-storey building on Nikolayevskaya Square, designed by Mikhail Alyakrinsky, was laid on 12 May 1891 and occupied on 16 August 1893. The school closed in autumn 1918.

The school's name changed from "Russian School" to "Simbirsk Spiritual School" when it opened on 25 November 1818. Its pupils included the painter Arkady Plastov and Vladimir Kerensky, father of Alexander Kerensky. In 2024 the building was returned to the Simbirsk Eparchy, which plans a centre for training church specialists.

The building stands at the corner of Architect Livchak Street and Goncharova Street, opposite the Pokrovsky Monastery. In October 2024 it was returned to the Simbirsk Eparchy, which plans to open a church specialists' training centre there; access is not yet arranged for visitors.

The building on Nikolayevskaya Square, opposite the Pokrovsky Monastery, was laid on 12 May 1891 to a design by Mikhail Grygoryevich Alyakrinsky and occupied on 16 August 1893. On 1 January 1898 it held 194 pupils. In 1991 it passed to the newly opened medical faculty of Ulyanovsk State University, and on 18 October 2024 it was returned to the Simbirsk eparchy.
