Our Lady of the Joy of All Who Sorrow church

Our Lady of the Joy of All Who Sorrow is a brick church built in the Russian Revival style in Nizhny Novgorod. The exterior and interior feature traditional Orthodox design elements characteristic of its architectural period.

The church was built in 1896 and is now recognized as a protected regional cultural site. It represents the religious and architectural development of late 19th-century Nizhny Novgorod.

The church is named after a revered Orthodox icon representing comfort for those facing hardship. Visitors can sense this meaning reflected in the symbols and the way the interior space is arranged.

The building is accessible on most days, though it is best to check opening times in advance. Visitors should be appropriately dressed as it remains an active place of worship.

The church witnessed the Soviet period when religious buildings operated under difficult conditions. Its preservation and restoration make it a symbol of religious resilience in the region.
