The architectural gem of Bazaar Square was not only the Fish Corps. The Petropavlovsk Church, previously located at the site of the modern 86th house on Moskovskaya Street, was also an outstanding example of stone architecture. Built in 1797 with funds from the Penza burgomaster and merchant Mikhail Ochkin, it became the main parish church of the Novodragunskaya sloboda and one of the richest temples in the city. The gilded iconostases and commissioned wall paintings were true works of art. It is no surprise that during his visit to Penza, Alexander I visited not only the Spassky Cathedral but also this church. In memory of this significant event, the clergy installed an icon of Saint Blessed Prince Alexander Nevsky in the church with an inscription about the emperor's visit. The best church choir in Penza operated at the church, led by Alexei Vasilyevich Kastorsky, who was one of the founders of the church-singing society and the organizer of choral singing courses, where a choir of up to 500 people performed. The Petropavlovsk Church was practically the only clean place on Bazaar Square, maintained as meticulously as the governor's residence. However, the glorious history of the temple ended in 1931 when it was closed and subsequently demolished. In the 1950s, a five-story residential building was constructed on this site, partially standing on the former cemetery. Here, there was previously a chapel where in 1914 the rector of the church, Archpriest Fyodor Bystrov, was buried.
