The Church of the Tikhvin Icon of the Mother of God (other name is the Old Ascension Church) is a wooden Orthodox church in the city of Torzhok, Tver Region of Russia.

The first mention of the temple in the clerical record dates back to 1653. The wooden building was built on the right, high, bank of Tvertsa. The height of the temple is 34 meters. Since the temple was wooden, it was redone many times. In the 1780s, a foundation of white old stone was laid under the building (on one of them the year 1782 was knocked out). In 1783, the back roof was replaced by iron, in 1806 the porch was built, and in 1828 the head was redone. By 1854, the temple was dilapidated and it was decided to build a new stone one in return.
In the middle of the XIX century, parishioners decided to build a new stone Ascension Church near the wooden church. It was supposed to destroy the old church, and use the material from it in a new one or sell it in another parish. But the Archbishop of Tver Filofei (Uspensky) forbade the demolition of "such a wonderful church both in antiquity and in architecture." As a result, a new stone Ascension Church was built, in 1858 the warm Zosimo-Savvatievskaya church was demolished, but the old wooden Ascension Church remained standing.
However, the temple was not demolished, but was transferred to the Staritsky tract. By 1883, the temple was reconstructed and on October 5 it was re-consecrated in honor of the Tikhvin Icon of the Mother of God.
In Soviet times, church services ceased in 1929. There was a plan to transfer the temple to the Museum of Wooden Architecture in Vasilevo near Torzhok.
In the mid-1970s and early 1980s, restoration and research work was carried out. In the 2000s, worship services resumed in the summer.
The temple preserved painting of the XVIII century, and in the lower tiers of the painting of the second half of the XIX century. In the ceiling of the upper tier is an octagonal niche with the image of the New Testament Trinity.
