Ascension Church, Rostov-on-Don, Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Rostov-on-Don, Russia.

Ascension Church is an Orthodox church built in 1910–1913 on the Brethren Cemetery in Rostov-on-Don. Its main volume is 38 by 20 metres and is topped by a dome with a cupola; originally there was one large chapter and four small cupolas. The facades are faced with brick, and a hipped bell tower rises above the western entrance.

The church was built in 1910–1913 on the Brethren Cemetery, founded in 1892 after a cholera epidemic. Its bricks came from a temporary stone church by Sergei Zagoskin at New Market Square, dismantled after the consecration of Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. Closed in 1929 and used as a Dinamo stadium warehouse, it reopened in 1933, closed again in 1937, and was officially reopened in 1946.

The church is named for the Ascension of Christ and contains several side chapels honoring different saints. You can see how these holy figures are venerated through icons and decorations placed throughout the interior.

The church stands on the former Brethren Cemetery, the largest in Rostov-on-Don, outside the old city limits. Services have been held without interruption since 1946. The bell tower and dome, destroyed in the 1930s and 1940s, were rebuilt during restoration in the late 1990s.

The church was funded by wealthy merchants who repurposed materials from an older church building located nearby. This practical approach to reusing materials was a common practice in major construction projects around the city at that time.
