The first (wooden) church was laid almost at the same time as the Egoshihin copper smelter in 1724 in honor of Peter I, thanks to the order of which a settlement arose. It was wooden and built on a standard design, was inside the prison - its image is on old maps. In 1764 the church was replaced by a stone stone Peter and Paul Cathedral. One of the chapels of the cathedral was consecrated in honor of Catherine II.

Nearby built the Perm city magistrate (analogue to the mayor's office) and the governor's house. In the XIX century. center moved to the street. Siberian and Petropavlovskaya area lost its importance. Nevertheless, the services in the Peter and Paul Cathedral also included the hierarchs of the Perm diocese. In 1929 the cathedral of Peter and Paul was closed, but nothing secular in it did not take root. In 1990 it was returned to believers.
