History
The church was raised near the town cemetery in the historical part of Kamensk especially for the funeral service. Earlier funeral rites were organised in the Holy Trinity Cathedral. The construction of the church began in the 1850s. It was completed in 1883. The church was consecrated on the 1st of July 1885 by Nathanael, bishop of Yekaterinburg and Irbit. The bell tower was built in 1905. In 1907 the parish was organized.[2]
The church stopped doing funeral rites in 1918. Divine services continued until 1934, when the last priest, Father John Zykov, was arrested. In the 1940s-1950s the building was used as a place of confinement for displaced persons, later as warehouses.[2] The cemetery was demolished.[3]
In 1991 the church building was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church. During the Soviet era the church building became almost destroyed and the domes were lost. John Agafonov became the new arch-priest.[2]
