      • A wooden church in the Kapitanskaya Sloboda is mentioned from 1695, and construction of the stone one began in 1705.
      • According to tradition, the church was built on Peter I's personal order and drawings; it is known for certain that the tsar granted 2,000 roubles for the building.
      • The construction is linked with Ivan Zarudny, and Ivan Michurin finished the church in 1723.
      • The bell tower was erected in 1745–1746 under the direction of Karl Blank.
      • In 1856–1868 the galleries were taken down and rebuilt, preserving the style of Peter's time.
