Under the USSR, warehouses were located within the walls of the temple. Services resumed here only with the beginning of the Second World War.
The pseudo-Russian style of the temple makes it look like an old tower. The central entrance is decorated with sculptures of angels placed above the doors. The interior decoration of the temple, with icons and sculptures, is also fascinating. Due to the large number of windows, the room is perfectly illuminated and appears to the parishioners in all its splendor.

The interior of the museum is also decorated in a nautical theme, resembling the holds and cabins of a ship. In one of the halls, the writer's office has been recreated for certain.
