The construction certificate was laid by the archbishop of Perm and Verkhotursky Neophyte. Construction work completed in 1856.

Complicated by three rounded pediments and miniature chapters, as well as two extensions: a book and icon shop and a gatehouse [3] .
On the main southern facade, the arch of the passage is highlighted by a type-setting portal, above which the icon case and a pair of symmetrically arranged windows are decorated with a three-part order platband. He is crowned by a pair of spiral curls, engulfed in a zigzag. The portal is flanked by three-quarter columns abutting against entablature. It is outlined by a series of balusters, interrupted by a three-part platband. The ledges above the columns are covered by truncated pyramids [3] .
The ground floor plan is axial symmetrical: on both sides of the through arch there are two rooms with rounded ends, in the left is an interfloor staircase. The plan of the second floor is crosswise symmetrical: four rooms with rounded ends communicate with the temple space through the spring arches. The upper light quadrangle with beveled corners is covered by an eight-fold closed arch [3] .
