The architectural monument of regional significance is located in the Novosibirsk region, Kolyvansky district, in the village of Kolyvan on Soviet Street, 34. It was placed under state protection in 2015. Deep within the block on Soviet Street stood a building resembling a club, the origin and purpose of which remained unknown for a long time. Now many residents of Kolyvan know that this is a former Orthodox church.
In 1859, at the request of Bishop Parfeny of Tomsk, the Holy Synod permitted the construction of a church in Kolyvan, named the Cathedral. The laying of the cathedral took place on August 15, 1861, and its consecration on October 1, 1867. The cathedral, built of stone with a bell tower, became the first stone building in "new" Kolyvan. Initially, it was located in an open field, far from the main residential development. Later, according to K. Tursky's plan, Cathedral Square was created, surrounded by the houses of wealthy residents and public buildings.
In 1871-1872, due to the need to expand and insulate the church, merchant Kirill Klimov Krivtsov proposed to build a northern chapel in honor of Saint Great Martyr Catherine at his own expense. In 1876, two chapels were consecrated: the northern and southern, in honor of Saints Cyril and Natalia. The church stood in this form for about 60 years.
According to locals, the interior decoration of the Cathedral was richer than that of another Kolyvan church. The architecture of the Cathedral of the Holy Life-Giving Trinity may be linked to the works of architect K.A. Ton. Alfred Ashemur and Yakov Nabalov participated in the design.
During the Soviet era, the cathedral building underwent destruction and reconstruction. On the night of February 1, 1932, a fire broke out in the cathedral, after which the church was closed. In the 1930s, the bell tower and domes were lost. In 1950, the church was rebuilt, with new elements added featuring Soviet symbolism. During the restoration of the church, the remaining walls and archival drawings were used, but preference was given to photographs from the early 20th century.
In 2014, the development of a project for the reconstruction and restoration of the Cathedral of the Holy Life-Giving Trinity began. In 2016, the project was approved by the Department for the Protection of Cultural Heritage Objects of the Novosibirsk Region, and restoration work on the church commenced as part of the regional program "Culture of the Novosibirsk Region" for 2015-2020.
