Part of the once thriving ensemble of the Savior Church has survived behind a metal fence, retreating from the red line. Novomostovaya Street, connecting here with October Revolution Street, gracefully curves at the intersection and rises upwards, pausing before the six-column portico of the main facade. In 1773, a wooden church of the Annunciation of the Mother of God was built on this site, on Bolshaya Kazanskaya Street. However, after the Pugachev uprisings, when the miraculous icon of the Savior Not Made by Hands was being transported from Yelabuga to Ufa, the icon unexpectedly stopped near the Annunciation Church. The people carrying it could not move further until they promised to build a church here. In 1779, the cold Savior Church was erected as a counterpart to the warm Annunciation Church. A fire on July 1, 1821, destroyed both churches. But on May 30, 1824, thanks to the efforts of parishioners and priest Ivan Grigorievich Nesmelov, a new stone temple was laid. Due to a lack of funds, construction dragged on for more than two decades. In 1829, a chapel in honor of St. Nicholas was consecrated; on September 1, 1844, the main church in honor of the Savior's Not Made by Hands was consecrated, and a year later, a chapel in honor of the Nativity of Christ was added, in memory of the Christmas Monastery that burned down in 1816.

According to I. Nesmelov's design, the church was to resemble the famous Kazan Cathedral in St. Petersburg, but ultimately only general compositional principles were used: a central domed church and two symmetrical colonnades forming a quarter circle. The ends of the colonnades facing the street were topped with two identical bell towers. One of them had a chapel on the first floor, while the other housed a room for caretakers. A distinctive feature of the building's location was the deviation from the traditional orientation of Christian structures. The desire to open a grand space to the street led the builders to turn the altar part to the north instead of the east. Currently, only the six-column portico of the main entrance has survived from the original appearance. Although the Savior Church was not the main one in Ufa, it was located near the geographical center of the city and for several decades had the largest parish in the city, covering almost the entire center up to the western outskirts. The church had wall paintings. In the 1850s, a new iconostasis was installed; there were a total of three. Some icons were painted at the Trinity-Sergius Lavra under the guidance of Malyshevsky. In 1885, the iconostasis was replaced. The wall and vault paintings in the front part of the temple were completed in 1892. Seven bells were cast in the Vyatka province by the Bakulev brothers. In 1898, the church underwent repairs, and among the donors were F. G. Chizhov, G. A. Deev, V. I. Vidiniev, N. K. Blokhin, A. A. Skripov, and others. In 1907, electric lighting was installed in the temple. Among the church elders, the name of merchant Lyubimov, who served in this capacity for 9 years, has survived. By the decree of the Presidium of the Central Executive Committee of the BASSR on December 29, 1929, the Savior Church was closed. Soon, the colonnades and bell towers were destroyed, the drum of the temple with 12 arched windows and the dome were ruined, the wall paintings were painted over, and the church was converted into a dormitory. Around 1944, the semicircular altar apse slid into the ravine.

For 40 years, the church was adapted for film distribution workshops. In the 1990s, the life of the Savior Church remained the same as in the 1950s or 70s. A cooperative for making windows and doors was established in the church building. The installed woodworking machines and sawmills created strong vibrations, exacerbating the precarious position of the church on the edge of the ravine, and cracks began to appear in the meter-thick walls, which continue to grow. From 1995 to 2002, the second floor housed a diocesan icon-painting workshop. The young icon painters cleaned three sections of frescoes on a large area from whitewash and paint. The condition of the painting, revealed after 65 years, turned out to be astonishing. The high technique of painting and characteristic techniques allow them to be classified as academic. Currently, only the refectory and the square of the temple have survived from this neoclassical monument, and the internal layout of these rooms has been significantly altered. Additional inter-floor ceilings and numerous partitions were made. Three tiled stoves were dismantled. On October 24, 2004, the first service took place in the Savior Church after a 75-year break. Now services are held regularly in the refectory part of the temple on Sundays and holidays. A project for the restoration of the church has been developed, and construction of the left colonnade and bell tower has begun.
