Dormition Church in Perm, Eastern Orthodox temple in Sverdlovsky District, Perm, Russia.
The Dormition Church on Tikhaya Street is an Orthodox temple featuring a bell tower and traditional religious architecture. The building sits beside Yegoshikha Cemetery and displays the typical structural features of Orthodox church design.
A wooden All Saints church, funded by 530 rubles collected in Yekaterinburg, was consecrated on this cemetery site on 10 December 1784. The stone Dormition church, designed by architect A. I. Ozhegov, was laid on 25 June 1900 and consecrated on 21 November 1905. Closed in 1939 and used as a film-rental warehouse, it was gutted by a fire in the late 1970s. Returned to the Orthodox Church in 1989, it was restored under restorer G. L. Katsko.
The church keeps the name of the Dormition, given to the old wooden cemetery church of All Saints when it was reconsecrated in the 1830s. In 1812 a banner of the Shirvan infantry regiment was consecrated in that earlier church. Today it is the cemetery church of the Yegoshikha burial ground, where memorial services are held.
The church sits in a residential neighborhood beside a cemetery and is accessible via Tikhaya Street. Visitors should respect the timing of religious services and check opening hours ahead of time for viewing the building.
In 1812, a banner of the Shirvan Infantry Regiment was consecrated in the wooden predecessor church on this site. The stone church that stands today was closed in 1939 and turned into a film-rental office warehouse; a fire in the late 1970s nearly destroyed it before restoration began in 1989.
