Church of the Dormition, Eastern Orthodox church in Yekaterinburg, Russia.
The Church of the Dormition is an Eastern Orthodox house of worship in Yekaterinburg featuring characteristic cupolas and icon-painted interior walls. Architect Mikhail Pavlovich Malakhov designed the structure with classical Orthodox elements reflected in its vaulted spaces and decorative detailing.
The building was consecrated in 1782 and originally developed as a cemetery chapel funded by a merchant. In 1809 it joined the New Tikhvin Convent, becoming part of that religious compound.
The church maintains Eastern Orthodox traditions through regular services, celebrating major religious events according to the Orthodox calendar throughout the year.
The church can be approached from nearby streets and viewed from various angles to appreciate its exterior architecture. Visitors should observe respectful behavior during services and focus on quieter times if exploring at their own pace.
The structure received recognition as a regional cultural heritage site, representing the historical development of Orthodox Christianity in the Ural region.
