Church of the Dormition, Orthodox church in Arkhangelsk, Russia.

The Church of the Dormition stands on the Northern Dvina embankment at the start of Loginova Street in Arkhangelsk. The rebuilt stone church, in the Russian classicist style, is crowned by three gilded cupolas, and a tall multi-tiered bell tower rises on its west side. The present building differs considerably from the original.

A wooden Dormition church was built in 1626 at Zhabinsky Navolok, also called Borki; a chapel of Simeon Stylites was added in 1640. Peter I attended a vigil there in 1694. The wooden church was replaced by a stone one: the warm refectory church was consecrated in 1744 and the main church in 1753 (or 1755). A bell tower added in 1752 leaned by the early 20th century and was straightened in 1912 under P. P. Pokryshkin. The church was closed in 1920 and demolished in the 1930s; rebuilding began in 1995–1996 and the restored church was consecrated on 28 August 2008.

The church serves Arkhangelsk's community as a place for Orthodox religious services and ceremonies throughout the year. It brings together local worshippers who gather here to participate in the traditions and practices of their faith.

The church sits near the Northern Dvina River and remains open to visitors throughout the year. Plan your visit during times when services are held to experience the building in its living context.

The 18th-century bell tower doubled as a lighthouse: a beacon could be lit in it to guide ships, especially Russian warships, entering Arkhangelsk harbour. In the early 20th century the 32-metre tower leaned on settling ground and was nicknamed the "Leaning Tower of Arkhangelsk"; architect P. P. Pokryshkin oversaw its straightening in 1912 by replacing the wooden pile foundation with a stone one.
