St. Nicholas Cathedral
The Main Church of the Orthodox Archdiocese, the Cathedral was designed by Alexander Isaksson, an architect from Vyborg, and built in 1902-1903. The Temple was consecrated by archbishop Nikolai on January 3, 1904 and is dedicated to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, the archbishop of Myra in Lycia.
The building is an example of Old Russian style, but it also contains western architectural features. The building material is baked redbrick plastered on both sides. The exterior is painted to resemble brick pattern and the upper part of the interior is upholstered with wood. In the belfry there are seven bells of different sizes made by Orlov Foundry in St. Petersburg.
