History
The church was founded by the commander of the 28th artillery brigade, Major General Ivan Petrovich Lemtyuzhnikov in 1868-1869. The consecration of the temple took place on October 1, 1869, on the same day as the consecration of the Holy Trinity rebuilt as an Orthodox church. The Church of the Resurrection was a cemetery church attached to the church of the Holy Trinity. During World War I, the services in the temple ceased. After the return of the Trinity Church to the Catholics in 1919, the Resurrection Church became a parish.
