The construction of the chapel of the Korsun happened in 1931 near Talavskoy tower, it was associated with the famous icon of the Korsun Mother of God - Izborsk relic, which for many years was kept in St. Nicholas Cathedral.

To have survived the legend of how the city Izborsk almost at the mercy of the Germans .  This event took place March 22, 1685 .  At this time, the enemy troops set fire to the townsmen, located in the Pechora monastery and had planned to take over and Izborsk fortress .  The news of this reached a certain widow Evdokia .  She lit a candle before an icon of the Korsun Mother of God throughout the night reading a prayer with her daughter Fotini .  Happened sign that came directly from the image of the icon, and from the eyes of the Virgin Tears flowed .  About what he saw Simon's widow told the cleric, who has decided to include an icon in Nicholas Cathedral, and the governor and the Holy Cathedral became the new witnesses to a miracle when they saw streams of tears flowing from the eyes of the Mother of God .  Do not tighten, residents reported the incredible miracle of the Pskov Archbishop Makarios .  Macarius ordered within 40 days chant prayers before the icon, after which the city got rid of Izborsk enemy invasion holy prayers of the Virgin .  From that time izboryane understand who their heavenly intercessor, and tried in every way to pay tribute to her honor and my gratitude .

It is known that in the 20th century, an incredible saving power that emanated from the Mother of God, was able to find support in the real life of the citizens of Izborsk. The event took place at the end of the 1920s, when the wife of a former officer and merchant-Radzievskii Kostenko, the patient with an incurable disease suddenly cured with the help of God. Her husband was so shocked accomplished a miracle, that he decided to put all their money in the construction of a chapel in honor of the icon of the Korsun Mother of God. This event became known not so long ago, what greatly complement the history of the cult of a small building.

I had the place to be, and another no less interesting incident that occurred during the Great Patriotic War July 30, 1944 - the day was the liberation of the city from Nazi troops Izborsk. The roof of the chapel was a large shell, and fled from the fire people have remained intact, because the whole blow assumed the Korsun Icon of the Mother of God, the image of which found a large number of fragments.

One of the few lists Korsun Icon of the spring of 1981 was kidnapped, but the chapel is in the right place completely untouched. It is clear that the monuments of our time can not compete with the culture of the ancient fortress, but still a chapel perfectly blended into the background composition of the harsh walls and towers harmoniously and smoothly combining its architectural appearance.

The construction of the chapel was an ancient burial ground, which was lined with crosses and stone slabs. On the wall on the east side there is an inscription that the project of the chapel was made by the architect Alexander Ignatievich Vladovsky. On the adjacent board there is an inscription with the date of the base tab, but it is very difficult to read. Most likely, the building was constructed in 1929 when the city of Izborsk belonged to the Republic of Estonia.

The building of the chapel in the plan is square and the roof is blocked for a few rays. On the vault there is a light drum having narrow windows on all sides of the world, as well as an elongated bulbous head and placed on top of the cross. The base is composed using hewn granite. Decoration of the entrance portal decorated architectural and Kyoto, and the corners are fixed with the help of the blades; Pskov pattern encircles the drum. Throughout the interior of the body of the visual angle is supported by columns. In the western and eastern walls of the cross has a mortgage and its part of the previously existing on the site repository.
