History

edit

It was an Orthodox church dedicated to the Dormition of the Mother of God. The architect Victor Nilsen designed and built this church between 1880 and 1887.[1][2] The building stood until it was demolished in 1934 during the Soviet era by the Bolshevik government as part of the Atheist Five-Year Plan.

In the church there was the icon of Mary Odigitria also known as Mother of God of Mariupol. It was considered a miraculous icon.[3][4][5][6]
