Parland, Archimandrite Ignaty) on the site, where Emperor Alexander II was mortally wounded (see March 1, 1881), hence the common name of the church – "Saviour on the blood".

The design of the nine-dome building that could hold up to 1,600 people followed that of 16th-17th centuries Moscow churches, it is noted for its complex and picturesque silhouette and rich mosaic decor. The mosaics were done in the workshop of A. A. and V. A. Frolov to the drawings of V. M. Vasnetsov, M. V. Nesterov, N. A. Koshelev, V. V. Belyaev, N. E. Kharlamov, A. P. Ryabushkin, and others. The marble iconostasis was made in the workshop of G. Novi in Genoa, mosaic icons were made according to the drawings by V. M. Vasnetsov. The ciborium above the place of assassination was made of jasper at stone factories of Ekaterinburg and Peterhof, silver church plates were delivered by Khlebnikov Company. Memorial plaques, detailing the "Great Reforms" of the 1860-70s, were placed on exterior walls. The wrought railing was installed on the east side; on the north side a sacristy chapel of St. Alexander Nevsky was built. In 1923, the church acquired the status of a cathedral, in 1930 it was closed, in 1934-35 the building housed the exhibition dedicated to People's Will Organisation, then the building was used as a service block. In 1970, it was handed over to St Isaac's Cathedral Museum. From 1973 to 1998, restoration was carried out. Today the church functions as a museum. References: Кириков Б. М.
