History
The name "on Studenza" allegedly happened along the road that went by the temple to the White Sea , which was called "studenets" in the common people. The exact date of the foundation of the temple is unknown, but in documentary sources for 1672 it is listed as wooden. The construction of the stone church began in 1699, and the end of construction dates back to 1702, however, some sources question these dates. In 1718, the main throne was first mentioned in the name of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God .
The temple was closed in the early 1930s, the bell tower was blown up, the building was heavily redone. The demolition of the temple continued until 1937, but it didn’t end. The second floor was created in the building and the hostel of the Cardolent factory was placed in it. In 1965, there was another attempt to demolish the temple to make way for the construction of a residential building, the demolition stopped due to public protest. After examining the remains of the building in 1966, they decided to restore it, work began in the same year and continued until 1969, although the building stood in scaffolding until 1983.
Returned to believers in 1992, the first service was held in 1994, and they have been regularly held since 1996. Services are performed according to the pre-school old rite.
The abbot of the church since 1994 is hegumen Peter (Vasiliev) .
