Cathedral of the Holy Intercession

The Cathedral of the Holy Intercession was first built in 1778. On May 5, 1886, the Cathedral of the Holy Intercession was built on the site of the former Church of the Intercession. After decades of decay under the Soviets, it was decided in 1993 to recreate the Holy Intercession Cathedral in its original form. The construction of the temple took 14 years and was consecrated in 2007.
