Elizabeth was once a country village. The courtyard of the Novo-Tikhvin monastery was founded here during the first Abbess Taisia at the beginning of the XIX century. In the first years, only field work was carried out in the courtyard, and the only building here was a large wooden house, covered with iron, for storing bread and hay.

In 1876 a stone three-altar church was built in honor of the All-Merciful Savior on the Elizabethan Zaimka. After the revolution, the temple was devastated by the Bolsheviks, who seized precious utensils from it. Sixteen years after that it continued to function but already as a parish, as the monastery was closed in the 1920s.

During the most brutal persecution of the Church in 1938, the temple was closed. After that, a collective farm was organized on the territory of the monastery memorial; later a machine-tractor station was located here. The temple housed the workshop of a worsted mill and a warehouse. Finally, the temple came to a complete desolation and became, according to an official memorandum, "a gathering place for unorganized youth and a hotbed of mud." The temple burned three times and by the time of its transfer to the believers in 1988 was in disrepair. The first abbot of the temple was father Nikolai Ladyuk, whose efforts largely made the revival of the church and parish life possible. In 1989, the first service was held here.

Somehow at tea, during a conversation with doctors, they came to the conclusion that since mental illness is a poorly understood condition that is hard to cure and requires attention not only from a medical point of view, but also from a spiritual one, it is necessary to organize an Orthodox parish in the hospital. Never before had there been a temple in the hospital. It was the first hospital church since 1917 in that region.

With the blessing of the Archbishop Melchisidek, the temple was dedicated to the great martyr and healer Panteleimon.

In the process of restoration in 1993, the geometry of the dome was restored, mosaics were removed from the facades, and the basement was cleared of soil.

The compact volume of this small single-domed temple has a square plan configuration and a symmetrical composition of the facades. All four facades of the chapel are visually close to each other and designed according to the scheme of triumphal arches. The proportions close to the square give the building calm stability. The facade schemes are based on the rules of order tectonics and three-part division: the base, the middle part, the attic - horizontally and the arch span and two pylons - vertically. The northern and southern walls are cut by a double “Venetian” window. The center of each facade highlights the figured gable. The building is crowned with a small octagon with unequal faces, completed with a helmet-shaped dome with a cupola.

The facades of the Alexander Nevsky Chapel are not overloaded with decor, keeled overhead arches correspond to the Russian-Byzantine style, and the columns with their “cubic” capitals, the arched belts under the eaves are similar to Byzantine patterns. The decorative arched “opening” in the center of the facades is revealed by faceted rustic work. The memorial purpose of the chapel emphasizes the niches in the center of the pylons.
