Vvedensky church (Nizhny Tagil)

The Vvedensky church was built in the middle of the 18th century on a hill near the Nizhne-Tagil plant. Initially, the church was wooden and single-domed. The parish of this church makes up one fifth of the total population of the N.-Tagil plant.

After the construction of the Entrance-Jerusalem Cathedral near the temple, the church was moved to the eastern outskirts of the Nizhny Tagil village, where it has long been a hospital and cemetery church. The new stone church was founded by the Bishop of Perm and Yekaterinburg, His Grace Arcadius, on July 30, 1833. In 1836, the construction of a new stone building according to the project of the St. Petersburg architect E. I. Dimert was completed. The main temple was consecrated in honor of the Entry into the Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary in 1936.

In 1859, the southern chapel in honor of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the northern chapel in honor of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary (1861) were erected for the church. In 1860, the iconostasis of the main altar was renewed, its consecration was performed by Archpriest Alexy Karpinsky on August 7, 1860.

Among the available shrines of the temple are noteworthy:

• Iveron Icon of the Mother of God
• Painting of the Resurrection of Christ, in a high place in the side altar; paintings of the Mother of God with the Eternal Child. All three paintings are painted on canvas with oil paints by artists of Florence.

At the Vvedensky parish there were two parish schools (female and mixed) and one literacy school, the Vvedensky Zemsky two-class school.

In 1927, the building of the almshouse was occupied by the Nizhny Tagil OGPU. In 1931, the city organized a propaganda campaign in the press (“Worker.” 1931. No. 188, 192, 194) for the closure of the temple. The workers of the blast furnace shop of the III International Mine of the Vysokogorsky Mechanical Plant demanded that the press “expose the clergy” and transfer the Vvedensky church to the printing house where the Tagil Worker will be printed. The temple at this time became the cathedral of the Renovationists.

In February 1930, the presidium of the city council of Nizhny Tagil, on the report of a council member Yakovlev, issued a decree: “Given the mass demands of the city’s working people to close the Entrance Jerusalem Cathedral and the Vvedensky church, based on the need to use these buildings as training workshops for raising and forging skilled labor ... requirement Tagil workers to close the Entrance Jerusalem Cathedral and the Vvedensky Church to satisfy ” ^[1] .

Currently, the building houses the city department of the FSB Directorate for the Sverdlovsk Region. The building of the Vvedensky church was demolished in the early 1930s.
