Paromenskaya famous Church of the Assumption was built in 1444 and located on a ferry going through river of the great city on Zavelich'e; in 1521 the church was rebuilt in stone. Assumption Church retained an excellent five-span belfry, which has become a phenomenon of the Pskov traditional architecture situated next to the temple. Once at the church he visited Ivan the Terrible, for making her a gift in the form of icons with the image of St. George. We know that in the sacristy of the temple was kept for a long time and a silver bucket belonging to Peter I. Today in the Dormition church restored iconostasis and icons are created on the master funds that have been collected by police Pskov; instead of this, each police station has appeared Protecting icon.

Not far from the place where the church was located in the old days the crossing. During warmer months, the ferry crossing was, after a while, there appeared a floating bridge. In 1521 a stone church was built on the site of the former wooden. Chapels churches were built in the 17th century. Throughout 1885 on cash parishioners church altars were redecorated. With the help of churchwarden Monastery carried the finish of the main temple, the porch, and another chapel. Since the 18th century, the Church of the Assumption has been attributed to two churches: St. Nicholas Valkovsky former monastery and St. Nicholas from the stone wall. The first church on the grounds of severe dilapidation was abolished in 1799. Before the advent of state in 1876 in the church service was performed: deacon, priest, acolyte, and then acolyte and deacon.

Head of the church is crowned by a cross with a dove, which is the symbol of the Holy Spirit.

Five-span belfry was added to the church much later and was separate from the church building. After a while, it was adapted for housing, while apartments here were very uncomfortable and did not bring enough income. Belfry had nine bells. In the 16th century belfry bays were covered with a gable roof separate. Belfry of the Church of the Assumption is considered the largest of the extant.

In due time to the Assumption Church were assigned two chapels: Reverend Martyr Anastasia and of holy Russian Princess Olga. If you believe the legend, then Olginskaya chapel was built in the place where Saint Olga saw on the other side of the Great River a few bright rays, which comes down from heaven, after which she predicted that this place will be in the church of the Holy Trinity, and the city is famous for and great good works. On the eve of the big day of memory of St. Olga, namely, July 10 took place in the chapel all-night vigil, and the next day in the morning, during the religious campaign in the home of Olga Vybuty, vodoosvyascheniya happened. Next to the chapel was the source, which was named in honor of St. Olga - Holguin key.

Beginning in 1888, began to operate a hospice contained on financial aid from the farmers Logazovskoy parish, which is home to about twenty persons of both sexes. Among those who donated to the church needed was Hryastolov, Cherniavsky, Kudryavtseva, St. Eustatius, and acolyte penzentsev Sokolovsky.
