This church is not only a place of worship but also a memorial, marking the location where the last Russian Emperor, Nicholas II, and his family were executed by the Bolsheviks in 1918.

Constructed on the site of the former Ipatiev House, where the Romanovs met their demise, the church was dedicated in 2003. Its design incorporates elements of Russian Orthodox architecture, characterized by ornate decorations and onion domes that reach towards the sky, symbolizing the ascent to heaven. The main dome of the church is gilded, shining as a beacon of remembrance and reverence.

The Church of All Saints is also known as the Church on Blood in Honour of All Saints Resplendent in the Russian Land, reflecting its significance as a memorial to the Romanov family and to all martyrs who suffered during times of persecution in Russia. Inside, visitors will find a series of elaborately painted icons and a shrine dedicated to the Romanovs, with relics and artifacts related to the imperial family.

As a pilgrimage site, the church attracts visitors from all over the world who come to pay their respects and to reflect on the tumultuous events that shaped Russia's history. The basement, where the Romanovs were killed, has been turned into a place for prayer and contemplation, serving as a stark reminder of the past.
