Church of the Dormition, Church of the Assumption at the Ferry-Place (Pskov)

2 Rizhsky Avenue, Pskov.

The now existing church (1521) was built instead of an old one constructed in 1444.

Side chapels were built in the 17th century; the dome, in the 18th century.

The dome was reconstructed in accordance with the design by Elza Stoltzer from 1949 to 1951.

In 1938, the Church stopped functioning. The church services were resumed in 1994.

The Church of the Dormition at the Ferry-Place is a large Pskov architecture monument of town-planning importance. It is oriented to the crossing of the Velikaya River (Olginsky Bridge), faces the House of Holy Trinity, and accentuates an ancient road to the west (the modern Rizhsky Avenue).

The main church has one dome, three apses, and two side chapels dedicated to the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin (southern) and to the Virgin Mary's Cathedral (northern). The side chapels feature forechurches, galleries, and porches with columns. The Church is a picturesque combination of various volumes.

The main church's interior is cross-domed with four pillars and elevated arch walls typical for Pskov.

Pskov decorations include false arcading, brick soldier, begunets on the drum and apses, and facade strips. Small blind domes of the side chapels play an active role in scalability.

The ensemble is effectively crowned with a cross with a dove on its crossbar, a symbol of the Holy Spirit. According to a legend, the blessing of the Holly Spirit will not leave Pskov until the dove seats on the Church of the Dormition.
