The Church of the Myrrh-Bearing Women, an Orthodox church, is located on Yaroslav's Court in Veliky Novgorod. It was built in 1510 on the site of a wooden church of the same name that burned down in 1508.

The Church of the Myrrh-Bearing Women is one of the "youngest" in the architectural ensemble of Yaroslav's Court and stands out as "foreign." This is because its construction was led by merchant Ivan Syrkov, who moved to Novgorod from Moscow. Grand Duke Ivan III of Moscow, who completed the annexation of Novgorod to his state, actively displaced local merchants and boyars, replacing them with Muscovites. Ivan Syrkov was one of these "migrants."

The laying of the three-story single-domed church southwest of the Nikolsky-Dvorishchensky Cathedral took place in 1508, and construction was completed in 1510. The church is built in the Novgorod style: it is a four-pillar single-domed church with a two-bay bell tower on the western wall. During the last restoration, the roof was covered with wooden shingles, which is characteristic of Novgorod buildings from the 16th century. However, the three-apsidal structure of the eastern wall indicates the influence of Moscow architecture.

The church was built next to the "Syrkov's Court," the home of Ivan Syrkov, and became the family church of the Syrkov family. It is the first architectural monument to appear in Novgorod after its annexation to Moscow. The uniqueness of the church lies in its three-story design, where the first floor is underground and was used as a storage area.

In the late 16th century, part of Ivan the Terrible's treasury was stored in these premises. Initially, the church had wooden porches with stairs leading to the upper floor, which were restored during the last renovation. Later, extensions appeared from the north and west. In 1536 and 1539, two chapels were consecrated in the church: in the name of the evangelist Matthew and in honor of the Meeting of the Lord. In 1745, the church was assigned to the Yuriev Monastery, and in 1832, by order of Archimandrite Photy, it was transferred to the Syrkov Monastery.

During the Great Patriotic War, the church suffered significant damage. Its restoration took place in the 1952-1960s. Today, the Church of the Myrrh-Bearing Women houses the regional Children's Cultural Center, where exhibitions, musical concerts, and folklore programs are held. Since February 2017, an ethnographic interactive exhibition "Work for Hands, Celebration for the Soul" has been operating in the building.
