In 1870, preparations began for the construction of a stone three-altar church at the burial site of Dalmat Isetsk. The project was developed by Yekaterinburg architect Karl Tursky. The church was laid in 1871, and in 1881, the main temple was consecrated in honor of the Icon of the Mother of God 'Joy of All Who Sorrow', along with the northern and southern chapels.
After the closure of the monastery, the Sorrowful Church was handed over to the Orthodox community and became a parish church. In September 1928, the Shadrinsk District Executive Committee proposed to the Ural Regional Executive Committee to close the church and convert it into a People's House, which opened in January 1929.
In 1930, the five domes were removed from the church. From 1933 to 1939, the building housed a collective farm and state farm dramatic theater, while the burial vault served as a dressing room. In the 1940s, it was a cultural center, which during the Great Patriotic War was used as a hospital and training courses for command staff. After the monastery was transferred to the 'Molmashstroy' factory in 1945, part of the walls were dismantled, the building was divided into two floors, and used as a warehouse. Initially, the burial vault housed a machine assembly shop, then from 1950, a laundry, and from 1970, a galvanic production, later again a laundry.
In 1989, the Sorrowful Church was returned to the Dalmatovo Orthodox community, and in October of the same year, services resumed. In 1994, during excavations in the burial vault, the relics of St. Dalmat Isetsk were found, which now rest in the church near the right choir.
Currently, the church is under gratuitous use by the Holy Assumption Dalmatovo Men's Monastery. From 2007 to 2014, restoration work was carried out on the facades, roofing, brick kokoshniks, as well as the manufacture and installation of windows, doors, the arrangement of porches, and restoration of crosses with decorative elements and interiors.
