The Archbishop's courtyard in Saratov was established in 1832 next to the new cathedral and the Lipki park. By 1836, the construction of the two-story archbishop's house was completed, which housed the personal quarters and office of the Bishop, as well as a cross-shaped church consecrated in the same year. Before this, the bishop lived in a rented house owned by Teplakov on Nikolskaya Street.

In 1918, the Bolsheviks nationalized the archbishop's house, and soon an atheist museum was opened there, followed by a children's clinic in 1928. In 1985, the building became the library of the Saratov Medical Institute. In 1991, the house was returned to the church, and a year later, a theological seminary was opened there. In the following years, the building housed living quarters for the seminary, the office, the bishop's quarters, and departments of the Diocesan Administration. In the early 2010s, a major renovation was carried out in the house.
