Assumption Military Church, Eastern Orthodox church on Ilynskaya Hill, Nizhny Novgorod, Russia
The Assumption Military Church stands on a hilltop with a central dome and surrounding structures forming a traditional cruciform shape in Eastern Orthodox style.
The church's initial construction dates to 1621, followed by destruction in a fire of 1715, marking significant changes in the religious landscape of Nizhny Novgorod.
The interior features an iconostasis wall separating the nave from the sanctuary, displaying religious artwork according to Russian Orthodox traditions.
Visitors enter through the narthex into the nave area where traditional Orthodox services take place without seating arrangements, maintaining standing worship customs.
The bell tower occupies the western section of the building, coordinating with the holy table in the sanctuary for ceremonial purposes during religious celebrations.
