The church was built in period 1890-1898 for orthodox workers of Krenholm manufacture. The church was built in Byzantine style. Towers of it are 28,5 meters high.
Orthodox church was built of local red bricks and Finnish granite.
Church looks nice, especially its tower in city panorama (if look from castle territory).
Church is situated between ugly Soviet block houses - Narva is paradoxal city!

Definately go and take a look at the Narva castle, standing by the river which separates Estonia from Russia (Narva from Ivangorod). Right on the other side of the river as a similar castle - Ivangorod castle.
There is also museum open in the castle.
