Resurrection Church in Tver, Orthodox church in Tver, Russia

The Resurrection Church is an Orthodox place of worship in Tver with white walls, multiple domes, and traditional architectural features positioned near the Volga River. The building displays its bell tower and decorative details across its facades, showing the structural style typical of its era.

Built in 1731 on the site of a dilapidated wooden church near the Volga ferry crossing, the church was funded by the merchant Sedov. It originally had two altars: the Resurrection of Christ and Saints Gurias, Samonas and Abibus, patrons of the home. In the 19th century a side chapel of the Icon of the Mother of God was added. After 1917 the church was closed, two tiers of the bell tower and the frescoes were destroyed, and the building housed a health museum and chess and checkers clubs. Returned to believers in 1996, services resumed in 1997.

The church is also called the Church of the Three Confessors, after Gury, Samon and Aviv, patrons of the home, to whom one of its two original altars was dedicated. A chapel of the Icon of the Mother of God was added in the 19th century. Since 1997 services have been held again.

The church is positioned along the Volga embankment and is easy to reach on foot while exploring the city. Visitors should wear respectful clothing and observe local religious customs when inside.
