Authorities had no money for reconstructing the church, so it was dilapidated and destroyed completely. The new church was constructed here in 1789. Like other churches in the city, it was abolished after the enthronement of the Soviet authority in 1931. It was partially destroyed not so long ago but then was reconstructed completely in 1997.
