If we go along the street of Uritski to the river Kamenka, cross through the bridge, and turn to the right on the Schmidt's street, soon we would see at the left the solitary Church of Holy Virgin Mary Tikhuin icon (Tikhvinskaya Tserkov), which stands on the outskirts of the town, on the site of the former Saint Andrew Monastery (Andreyevsky Monastery), which was founded in the thirteenth century.
The Church was built at the end of the seventeenth century, and originally had a very tall tent-shaped bell-tower, similar to the one of the Church of the Ascension. The Church's sanctuary has not survived and all that remains is the slender main body of the Church. During Soviet time the Church has been deprived by the altar part. Its walls are decorated with great taste. Under the kokoshnik cornice there are large triple windows framed by a single surround.
