Ascension Church, Yaroslavl

[1] The first church on the site was commissioned in 1584 by Basil Kondaki, a wealthy Greek merchant, in order to prevent the planned construction of a Lutheran church in Kondakovo.

[2] A smaller parish church is dedicated to the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple.

This late Baroque building incorporates the 17th-century refectory, a survival from an earlier church.

The parish churches sustained damage in the Yaroslavl Uprising of 1918 and were later adapted for use by a nearby car barn.

It was not until the late 2000s that the buildings were returned to the Russian Orthodox Church and restoration work began.
