St. Sergius Church

It is built of white stone in 1570 - 1604 on place of the wooden church built at the foundation of the city in 1551. The initial temple is mentioned in annals of the 16th century.

Until 1764 the church was a part of Troitse-Sergiyev friary, after its closing is turned into a parish. Since 1795 it entered a complex of St. John the Baptist Nunnery, during this period reorganizations were made.

The temple is located on the second floor. At an entrance on a wall (which was an outer one before) the fresco "Trinity" remained. Services and household premises occupied the first floor.

Since 2006 works are carried out on complex restoration of the church, investor Bank Zenit.

Restoration is executed with the assistance of the Republican Fund of Revival of Historical and Cultural Monuments of the Republic of Tatarstan.
