Simeon the Righteous church, Orthodox church in Tyumen, Russia.

Simeon the Righteous church is a small Orthodox church of 9.9 by 6 metres, 6.8 metres high with its dome, built onto the eastern wall of the former Vladimir orphanage in Tyumen. It has no bell tower; the altar stood on the second floor, and the church was entered either from the classroom or from the street.

The Vladimir orphanage opened in 1872 at the edge of Tyumen, where Tsarskaya Street met the Moscow highway, funded by first-guild merchant Semyon Trusov with 14,000 rubles and named after Grand Duke Vladimir Alexandrovich, who had visited the city in 1868. Trusov began the attached church in 1880 and his daughter Fotina Serebryakova finished it; it was consecrated on 22 June 1885 and became an independent parish on 1 April 1888. Closed in Soviet times, the building passed to the Tyumen Medical Institute, where an anatomy theatre long operated, and was returned to the Tobolsk-Tyumen eparchy in 1998.

The church takes its name from Saint Simeon the God-Receiver, to whom it was consecrated on 22 June 1885. It began as the chapel of the Vladimir orphanage, where boys learned bookbinding, carpentry and shoemaking and girls sewing. Since 1999 the building has again belonged to the Tobolsk-Tyumen eparchy, and the former orphanage now houses the Tyumen deanery, a pilgrimage department and a library.

Access is available during prayer times, so visitors should check opening hours before planning a visit. It is important to follow dress codes and respect ongoing services when entering the interior.

The church is attached to the east wall of the former Vladimir orphanage and measures only 9.9 by 6 metres, 6.8 metres high with its dome; the altar stood on the second floor. It was heated by two tiled stoves, with a third unglazed stove by the altar. In Soviet times the building housed an anatomy theatre of the Tyumen Medical Institute.
