The church, consecrated in 1895, is one of the most magnificent and beautiful Orthodox churches in Riga.
The project was designed by the architect J. F. Baumanis and later revised by the architect V. Lunsky from the Vidzeme Governorate. The artist P. Zikov and the carpenter M. Muravjov were commissioned to design the interior of the church.
The church is an eclectic crossed-dome structure that reflects the architectural features of the 17th century Moscow architectural style. The church has a symmetrical ground plan. Inside the dome, the images of the Evangelists and Apostles painted by P. Zikov are placed on the sails. The walls are decorated with geometric ornamental bands. The iconostasis has three tiers and is carved from lime wood.
The main decoration of the church are the domes, which are arranged in a dynamic system. The dominant feature of the church is the four-story bell tower, which is crowned by a slender pyramid roof and an onion-shaped dome with a cross. The exterior walls of the church are decorated with frescoes.
