History

Between 1770 and 1780, a stone building was built in its place, and consecrated in 1780. The painter Arkhip Kuindzhi was baptized in the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin and married there in 1875 with Vera Leontyevna Kechedzhi-Shapovalova, the daughter of a wealthy merchant from Mariupol.

In Soviet times, the church was destroyed in 1936 by the Bolshevik government as part of the Atheist Five-Year Plan. [1] [2] [3] [4] The baptismal font of the destroyed church can be found today in the Kuindzhi Art Museum.
