The rotunda chapel with a single dome, built in the classical style and adorned with columns, was constructed in the early 19th century near the Archangel Michael Church. In 1928, it was closed and used as a retail point, but in 1989 it was returned to the faithful and renovated.

The Archangel Michael Church, also known as the Assumption Church, is dedicated to the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and has altars in the name of the archangel Michael and Saint John the Warrior. Its construction took place from 1801 to 1817 on the site of the previous Assumption (1678) and Archangel Michael (1730) churches. In 1860, architect M. Efimov expanded the refectory, incorporating the bell tower that had previously stood separately. In 1905, the wooden iconostasis was replaced with a marble one, and the frescoes were updated. In 1823, Emperor Alexander I visited the church during a service in Oryol, and in February 1826, his body was here on its way from Taganrog to St. Petersburg. The writer L.N. Andreyev (1871-1919) was baptized in this church and described it in his works, while priest Andrey Kazansky became the prototype for the story 'Silence.'

In 1923, the cold part of the church was transferred to a museum of religious arts, leaving the refectory for services. In 1932, the church was closed and used as a warehouse. In the mid-1970s, there were plans to convert it into a central exhibition hall, but the project was not realized. In 1989, the church was handed over to the Oryol-Bryansk Diocese, and on January 5, 1990, it was consecrated again by Bishop Paisiy of Oryol and Bryansk. Next to the church is a small chapel from the early 19th century.
