Ipatiev House was a merchant's house in Yekaterinburg where the former Emperor Nicholas II of Russia and several members of his family and household were executed during the Bolshevik Revolution.

The Emperor, his wife Alexandra Fyodorovna of Hesse, their four daughters (Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna of Russia, Grand Duchess Tatiana Nikolaevna of Russia, Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaevna of Russia and Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia), their son, (Tsarevich Alexei of Russia), and their Doctor Botkin, lady-in-waiting Demidova, cook Kharitonov, and footman Trupp, were shot there by a squad of Bolshevik secret police under Yakov Yurovsky, on July 16/July 17, 1918.

In 1977, Boris Yeltsin, the first secretary of the region, ordered the demolition of the Ipatiev House. The magnificent "Church on the Blood", with many auxiliary chapels and belfries, was built there after the fall of the Soviet Union.
