Church of the Holy All-Savior, Orthodox church in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia
The Church of the Holy All-Savior is a stone church building in Nizhny Novgorod featuring three altars inside. The structure displays classical Russian architectural style and stands on Suzdalskaya Street in the city.
The church was constructed in 1817 by architects Ivan Ivanovich Mezhetsky and Robert Yakovlevich Kilevein. It replaced an earlier wooden church that had stood on the site since 1722.
The building served as one of the few places where worshippers could maintain their faith during the harsh anti-religious campaigns of the 1930s. Visitors today can sense its role as a spiritual refuge that kept religious traditions alive in the city.
Entry is available during regular service hours when the church is open to visitors. It is helpful to check local visiting guidelines and dress respectfully, as this is an active place of worship.
The church grounds were originally part of Karpovka settlement, named after a local beekeeper from earlier times. This naming reflects the historical importance of beekeeping to the area.
