St. Sophia Church was built in 1863 in Pervomayskaya Street. In 1904, instead of the wooden Sofia Church, the construction of a stone church designed by architect V. V. Popov began and was completed in 1912. This church did not last for a quarter of a century. In 1934 it was closed and dismantled for building materials.

Sophia Of Rome
Saint Sophia of Rome is venerated as a Christian martyr. She is identified in hagiographical tradition with the figure of Sophia of Milan, the mother of Saints Faith, Hope and Charity, whose veneration is attested for the sixth century. However, there are conflicting hagiographical traditions; one traditionJoachim Schäfer: Sophia von Mailand. Ökumenisches Heiligenlexikon makes Sophia herself a martyr under the Diocletian Persecution (303/4). This conflicts with the much more widespread hagiographical tradition ( BHL 2966, also extant in Greek, Armenian and Georgian versions) placing Sophia, the mother of Faith, Hope, and Charity, in the time of Hadrian (second century) and reporting her dying not as a martyr but mourning for her martyred daughters.V. Saxer, "Sophia v. Rom" in: ''Lexikon für Theologie und Kirche'' vol. 9 (1993)733f./ref> Her relics are said to have been translated to the convent at Eschau, Alsace in 778, and her cult spread to Germany from there.
