The Church of Joachim and Anna is located on Kalinin Street, not far from the fifth fortress wall of Pskov. In ancient times, there was a women's Yakimansky monastery here, known since the 14th century, and its main temple was dedicated to the parents of the Virgin Mary, Anna and Joachim.

The exact time of the church's foundation is unknown, but its architecture and condition at the time of the last restoration in 1896-1897 indicate significant age. Chronicles mention the church only once, in 1544, when a fire occurred there.

The church has three semicircular altar apses with beautifully decorated cornices. In the simple yet bright decor, there is a feature not found in other Pskov churches: the bricks forming the pattern are slightly trimmed at the ends, creating the effect of expanding triangular depressions, which gives the pattern lightness and airiness.

On the southern side, there is an altar dedicated to the Holy Prophet Nahum, and on the northern side, an extension without an altar part. A narthex adjoins from the west, connecting with the northern extension and the southern altar. The narthex has a small porch, which until the last renovation was a typical Pskov entrance on low, thick pillars. The side spans of the porch were bricked up and turned into walls, altering the original appearance of the building. On the wall of the narthex, there is a two-bay bell tower. The church is adorned with a stone drum with narrow windows and unusual decorations, on top of which is a small blind drum with an onion-shaped dome and a decorative cross.

The narthex is covered by a single vault, while the main temple has box vaults located below the supporting arches. Three supporting pillars are semicircular, and two pillars on the eastern side are rounded only on the altar side. The narthex connects to the main temple through a sufficiently wide span, which acquired its modern appearance in 1896-1897, replacing a narrow passage. At the same time, the ground was extended by 1 arshin, and the floor was lowered, creating a high solea. The church windows were significantly enlarged. Choirs were arranged on the western side, and in the right altar, a regular ceiling was installed instead of a vault. In the southern part of the altar, there are two deep niches with showers. The extension on the left serves as a watchman's lodge.

After the revolution, the church was closed. Restoration was carried out in 1949, when the ancient drum was restored, and the dome regained its original appearance. The side bricked-up walls of the porch were cleaned, and the four-pitched roof was replaced with the original eight-pitched one.
