The foundation stone was laid on August 27, 1939. The project for the temple was prepared by the Ruse architect Lyuben Dinolov in May 1939. Construction began in the same year by the local master entrepreneur Nikola Ivanov Kolchev. The architectural project of the temple is the first bold and successful attempt to recreate the Round Church (Golden Church) in Preslav, built by Tsar Simeon I.
