Behind the park with the war memorial is the Resurrection of the Lord Church which dates from 1795.  The church is also known as Leontievskaya Church due to its location in an area of the city known as Leontievka, which itself was named in honour of a church which once stood here dedicated to St Leontius (Leonti) of Rostov.  The current church consists of a tall five-domed structure attached to an apse and a long church porch which also features a bell tower.  During the Soviet era the church remained open right up until 1961 when it was given over for use as a sports club and a football pitch was created outside.  It was returned to the Orthodox Church in 1989.
