Admiralteyskaia Church, Eastern Orthodox church in Voronezh, Russia

Admiralteyskaia Church, the oldest surviving church in Voronezh, mixes styles from repeated rebuilding: a five-domed pre-Petrine core with a low three-lobed apse 13.1 m high, plus a rectangular refectory and a three-tier bell tower 21.4 m tall in classicist style. The pale yellow bell tower has two open arched tiers of bells, paired columns and a dark ribbed dome with a slender spire and gold cross.

A wooden church with the same dedication stood here before 1594; Tsar Feodor Ivanovich's charter of 5 August 1594 mentions icons, bells and service books sent from Moscow for it. Boris Godunov founded a monastery beside it around 1600 under Abbot Kirill. After a fire destroyed the monastery on 29 June 1680, Abbot Tit rebuilt in stone; the official consecration date is 27 December 1694, though some historians argue for 1699 or after 1703.

The church is also called the Admiralty Church because thanksgiving services were held here after the first Russian warships were built in Voronezh. Peter I prayed here repeatedly and, by local tradition, sometimes joined the choir. The patronal feast is the Dormition of the Mother of God, celebrated on 28 August.

The church stands on the bank of the Voronezh River, on the site of the old shipyard that it once divided into left and right parts. The bell tower rises 21.4 m and the nave 13.1 m, so the tower is the easiest landmark to look for when approaching from the surrounding streets. The wall paintings inside are covered with plaster, so the interior shows whitewashed surfaces rather than frescoes.

The church kept items tied to Voronezh's role in the 1812 war against France: medals awarded to its citizens and the sword of Vice-Admiral Alexei Senyavin, commander of the Azov flotilla. From 1844 banners of Voronezh grenadier and jäger regiments were also displayed there.
