Description of the attraction
The Church of All Saints (also called All Saints) was founded in 1807. Admiral II de Traversay, the Chief Commander of the Black Sea Fleet, petitioned for this. The consecration of the church took place a year later. Funds for its construction were collected by the "lower ranks" of the Black Sea Department, admiralty servants, city merchants, bourgeois and commoners.
The church is a one-storey building made of stone, cruciform in plan. A bell tower is located above its entrance. The temple can accommodate up to 500 people. The burial place of M. Faleev, the town planner and founder of the Nikolaev shipyard, is located in the crypt of the church. At the Old Cemetery, not far from the church, there is the crypt of V. Karazin, the founder of Kharkov University.
In 1858, thanks to the merchant K. Sobolev, the nobleman I. Bartenev and the Chief Commander of the Black Sea Fleet, Admiral N. Arkas, the temple was expanded and rebuilt. The territory of the church was surrounded by a cast-iron fence, and a chapel was built near it, which had a deep basement, which served as a morgue. The Church of All Saints is the only church in the city that did not close even after the establishment of Soviet power in Ukraine.
Near the temple is the Arkasov family crypt with admiral N. A. Arkas, General Z. A. Arkas, their wives, the son of N. A. Arkas - composer and ethnographer N. N. Arkas. After the destruction of Faleyev's crypt in 1936, his ashes were also transferred here.
For two centuries the Church of All Saints has been a place of consolation for the people of Nikolaev.

Great place! I visited this temple and was very pleased. Quiet, calm place. It is amazing that the building has retained its original architectural appearance. The outside of the temple is painted in pleasant tones. I recommend visiting this attraction.
