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

Before our time came the legend of how the city of Izborsk almost was at the mercy of the Germans. This event occurred on March 22, 1685. At this time the enemy troops set fire Posad, located in Pechory monastery and planned to take in hand and Izborsk fortress. News of this reached a certain widow Eudocia. She lit a candle before the icon of God of Korsun of Matter in the entire night reciting prayers with his daughter Photinia. Happened sign, which came directly from the image of the icon, and the eyes of the virgin tears flowed. Everything he has seen the widow told the cleric Simon, who decided to include the icon in the Cathedral of St. Nicholas, the Governor and the Sacred Cathedral became the new witnesses of the miracle, when he saw the tears flowing from the eyes of the Mother of God. Not tightening, residents reported about the incredible miracle of the Pskov Archbishop Makarios. Macarius ordered for 40 days to sing prayers before the icon, after which the city of Izborsk got rid of the enemy invasion Holy prayers of the Theotokos. Since then Izborsk people knew who their heavenly intercessor, and tried to compliment her and my gratitude.

It is known that in the 20th century and the incredible saving power, which came from the mother of God, was able to find a confirmation in real life citizens of Izborsk. The event took place at the end of 1920-ies, when the wife of a former officer and merchant Kostenko-Radzievsky, sick with an incurable disease, suddenly, with God's help recovered. Her husband was so shocked accomplished a miracle that he decided to invest all their funds in the construction of the chapel in honor of the icon of the Mother of God of Korsun. This event became known not so long ago, than largely complemented the story of the creation of the cult of small structures.

Was the place to be and another equally interesting case, which occurred during the great Patriotic war, July 30, 1944 – on this day occurred the liberation of the city of Izborsk from Nazi troops. In the roof of the chapel was hit by a large projectile, and fleeing from the attack of the people remained intact, because the whole strike took over the Korsun icon of the mother of God, in the image which showed a large number of chips.

One of the few lists of Korsun icon in the spring of 1981 was stolen, but the chapel stands in its place, perfectly intact. It is clear that the monuments of our time can't compete with the culture of the ancient fortress, but the chapel is perfectly blended into the background composition harsh walls and towers, harmoniously and smoothly combined with its architectural appearance.

The construction of the chapel occurred on an ancient burial ground, which was covered with crosses and stone slabs. On the wall on the East side has an inscription stating that the design of the chapel was designed by the architect Vladovsky Alexander Ignatievich. Next the Board has an inscription with the date of Foundation of bookmarks, 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 covered with a roof for a few stingrays. On the vault there is light drum having narrow Windows on all sides, and elongated bulbous cupola and the cross at the top. The Foundation is built using hewn granite. Entrance decoration decorated architectural portal and Kyoto, and the corners are reinforced with the help of blades; Pskov ornament encircles the drum. Throughout the interior of the arch is visually supported by corner columns. In the Western and Eastern walls have inset cross and his detail from a previously existing on the site of the burial ground.
