The church, now serving as a summer cathedral for Sozopol, stands in the northern section of today's Sea Garden. In 1889, it was erected through the skilled craftsmanship of the renowned first master-builder, Gencho Kanev from Tryavna, funded by contributions from the newly established Bulgarian church community. During the latest restoration, a list of donors was discovered within a capsule beneath the base of the holy altar table. Architecturally, it takes the form of a three-nave, one-apse, cross-domed church, adorned with four freestanding pillars and an exterior bell tower that connects to a narthex from the main level. This design embodies the master's distinctive style, influenced by Neoclassicism, featuring pilasters at the corners, triangular pediments, a dome with arched openings, and embedded columns. The bell tower, a lightweight structure with four walls, culminates in a hemispherical dome, a design that endured until 1930.
