In the seventies of the nineteenth century, in a place called Military Mountain, a wooden church was erected, which was given the name Innokentevskaya in honor of the first Bishop of Irkutsk - the patron saint of the Far East and Siberia, St. Innokenty. The wooden church was replaced by a stone church in 1898. During the Bolshevik rule, it was adapted as a utility room, like many other churches in Russia.
