The Bogoslovsky plant, belonging to the fifth deanery, is located on the Turya River, a tributary of the Southern Sosva, 40 versts from Yekaterinburg and 125 versts from Verkhoturye. The plant is situated in a picturesque valley between two low but steep mountains known as the Southern and Northern Slope. The surroundings are famous for their mountain landscapes.

The plant was founded in the mid-18th century by the well-known Ural industrialist and Verkhoturye merchant Maxim Pokhodyashin. In 1791, it was transferred to the treasury, later sold to N. M. Polovtseva, and is currently owned by the joint-stock company of Bogoslovsky mining plants.

The cathedral has retained its original exterior, except for a stone annex on the west side, where stairs lead to the upper church, which was open until 1880. The interior decoration of the cathedral has been updated several times, partly with church funds and partly through donations from parishioners.

The late John Lukanin was particularly well-known among the locals, having served as a protodeacon and dean at the Bogoslovsky Presentation Cathedral for over 40 years, providing significant benefit to the church and the congregation.

The Bogoslovsky Cathedral is associated with a cemetery church, built in 1841 with funds from parishioners and supported by the mining chief M. I. Protasov. This stone church is consecrated in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God and is maintained with funds from the local community.

Additionally, a wooden single-altar church in the village of Lobva is attached to the cathedral, built in 1891 and consecrated in the name of St. Mary of Egypt.

The Bogoslovsky Cathedral owns ten wooden stalls and two wooden houses. The stalls are rented out, and the houses provide apartments for the cathedral clergy.

There are two chapels at the Bogoslovsky plant: one, wooden and plastered, is located at the entrance to the plant from the Verkhoturye tract and is dedicated to St. Nicholas of Myra. It was built in the 1940s. The other chapel, made of stone, is located at the exit from the plant to the Turya mines and is dedicated to the Ascension of the Lord in honor of the centenary of the Bogoslovsky plant. Annual processions are held to these chapels with the permission of the diocesan authorities: to the first on May 9 and December 6, and to the second on the feast of the Ascension of the Lord.
