      • The wooden church was built in the 1870s to a design by Academician I. V. Shtrom, funded by the patron Ilya Gromov.
      • The church's main icon was an icon of St Panteleimon brought from the Panteleimon Monastery on Mount Athos.
      • Tsesarevich Alexander, the future Alexander III, gave 60–70 thousand rubles toward building the Asylum.
      • The church was closed in 1929 and turned into a warehouse; by 1990 it stood roofless with charred walls.
      • The bell tower and tent roof were restored in 1995–1996, and the cross was raised in June 1996.
      • In 2007 the monument to Alexander III, lost in Soviet times, was returned to its place opposite the entrance.
