The finest example of classical Russian architecture of mid-to-late 19th century, the Temple Complex was built at the place, consecrated in commemoration of the 2000th anniversary of the birth of Christ, on the Assumption of the Virgin Mary.
Adjacent to the temple, there is the first national Orthodox Park - Slavic Square, decorated with a serie of sculptures symbolizing the Decalogue, and bronze statues of Cyril and Methodius, who invented the Cyrillic Alphabet, Ioan Tobolsky the Wonderworker - Orthodox metropolitan of Siberia, and famous Orthodox architect Filofey Leschinsky, metropolitan of Tobolsk.
