At the top of Volzhskaya Naberezhnaya, just past the River Port, is a church ensemble comprising two churches: the Annunciation Church which is used in summer months and the Ascension Church which is used in winter months. The oldest of the two is the Annunciation Church which dates from between 1688 and 1702. It represents a simplified form of the Yaroslavl-style of church architecture topped with five unusually elongated domes. Inside it was decorated with frescoes between 1708 and 1709. Next to this is the smaller Ascension Church which was completed in 1745. A bell tower was attached in 1866. Both churches were closed in the Soviet era. The Ascension Church was returned to the Church in 1991, but the Annunciation remained part of the Yaroslavl Museum-Reserve right up until the Millennium celebrations.
