Church in honor of Prince Igor of Chernigov, located in Vladivostok along the street. Fountain is one of the attractions of this beautiful city. The temple is dedicated to the memory of the soldiers of the Internal Affairs Directorate of the Primorsky Territory, who died in the line of duty.

The brick church was erected as soon as possible - in June 2006. The rite of consecration of the capsule and the foundation stone for the foundation of the church of the holy right-believing prince-passion-bearer Igor of Chernigov was performed by Archbishop Benjamin, accompanied by the clergy of the diocese. The construction of the temple was completed in March 2007. It was then that the solemn consecration of the church took place.

The architectural project of the Igor of Chernigov Church in Vladivostok was developed by the famous architect Valery Moor. The total height of the two-storey church is about 21 meters. Each of the floors covers an area of 78 sq.m. The lower floor was consecrated in the name of the patron saint of soldiers - the holy great martyr Demetrius of Thessaloniki. The baptistery (baptismal) is located here. As for the upper tier, it was consecrated in the name of the holy right-believing prince-martyr Igor of Chernigov, whose name the temple bears. The upper floor is the main liturgical room.

At the solemn ceremony of consecration of the church, the leadership of the Primorsky Territory Department of Internal Affairs presented the temple with an icon of the holy right-believing Prince Igor of Chernigov. This icon, measuring 50 by 40 centimeters, was made by the famous local icon painter Sergei Shchekalov. The icon depicts Prince Igor of Chernigovsky with a cross, holding a sword. The icon became a throne for the church.
