Construction of the Annunciation Cathedral in Gorokhovets was completed in 1700. The cathedral's builder was Semyon Nikiforovich Ershov, a wealthy merchant and winemaker, a native of Gorokhovets. He personally financed the construction of several of the first stone churches and residential buildings in Gorokhovets between the 1670s and 1700s, buildings now considered gems of medieval provincial Russian architecture.
The Annunciation Cathedral in Gorokhovets is the last in a series of churches built with Ershov's money. It is radically different from its predecessors.
