Holy Myrrhbearers Church, Solikamsk, Orthodox church in Solikamsk, Russia.

The Holy Myrrhbearers Church is a small, single-domed Orthodox church in Solikamsk, built in 1772–1776 at the expense of the salt industrialist Maxim Grigorievich Surovtsev. Its cuboid main volume is lit by a single tier of windows, and the surviving decoration includes carved surrounds with volute pediments formed by two semicircles and non-supporting consoles between them. The carpenter Ivan Gorbovsky and his sons made the iconostasis.

Built between 1772 and 1776 at the personal expense of the salt industrialist Maxim Grigorievich Surovtsev, it was the last church erected in Solikamsk during the town's period of prosperity from the late 16th to the late 18th century. Surovtsev was buried there in 1786. The carpenter Ivan Gorbovsky and his sons built the church and made its iconostasis; the icons were painted by the townsman Pyotr Kazantsev with the deacon Semyon Belozyorsky and the townsman Ivan Shvetsov.

The church is dedicated to the Myrrh-bearing Women, the followers who brought myrrh to Christ's tomb. Its name reflects this Gospel episode, commemorated in the Orthodox calendar. The iconostasis was made by the meshchanin Ivan Gorbovsky with his children, and the icons were painted by the meshchanin Pyotr Kazantsev with the deacon Semyon Belozyorsky and the meshchanin Ivan Shvetsov.

The church stands on ulitsa 20 let Pobedy, a main artery of Solikamsk, on what was once the eastern edge of town near the former Transfiguration convent. It is a small single-domed cemetery church, so a visit takes little time and is easily combined with a walk along the street. Look for the surviving carved window surrounds with their volute pediments on the facade.
