It presents a cross-form temple in its basement and has 9 domes. The facades are richly decorated with decorative elements: kokoshniks, arch framing of windows and doors, triangle and semicircular pediments, corner pilasters. The main arch entrance is stressed by a large portal looking as a profile arch positioned at 4 barrel-looking columns. The temple is lit by 2 tiers of windows.
