The church in honor of St. Michael Klopsky was located in the Novoslobodsky fortress and was built in 1902. The main benefactors were the family of merchant of the second guild Mikhail Galkin. The design of the church was based on the model of the Church of St. Olga on Dudergof Mountain in Krasnoe Selo, a suburb of St. Petersburg, created by D.I. Grimm.

The church was made of brick, single-story, in the shape of a "ship". It was a square building surrounded on three sides by an open arched gallery, closed on the east by the altar and deacon's area. Above the church rose an octagonal dome, and above the altar, a five-sided conch. An octagonal lantern with windows and pilasters adorned the dome and bell tower, featuring bands at the top. Eight-pointed crosses were placed on the dome, altar, and bell tower. The decor included large relief crosses on the walls, a cornice under the eaves, and small columns at the corners of large volumes.

The bell tower was tall, octagonal, and two-tiered, decorated with kokoshniks and Orthodox crosses on the edges of the tent. The high tent had decorated little windows, and the onion-shaped top was placed on a thin cylindrical neck. The iconostasis in the church was a two-tiered carving. The parish was non-parochial.

In the 1940s, the church building housed a fire department dormitory. The domes were removed from the church, and the bell tower was destroyed. By the end of the 1950s, the church was demolished.

Today, a park with a monument to Hero of the Soviet Union D.M. Karbyshev, installed in 1961, stands on the site of the church.
