The name of the famous Russian commander saved the Church in Soviet times from closing and ruin. Only one this temple was spared by the Communists. Worship in it was not stopped for a single day.

In the early XX century in Kobryn decided to build a large pompous stone Church, and a small wooden Church, so beloved by Suvorov, move away to the suburbs. The initiator of the construction of the new temple was the Emperor Nicholas II. Russia has circulated petitions collect donations.
