This shouldn't be confused with the church with the same name existent in Brest city center.
This one is a garrison church, built in Byzantine style between 1851 and 1876. Of course, in 1941 it was basically destroyed during the German siege to the fortress and then rebuilt after the War.
It's currently used for worship and for wedding celebrations.
