Nikolsky Cathedral

New Nicholas Church.

The first stone of St. Nicholas Church was laid on January 19, 2013.

 

The height of the temple is 55 meters. The temple is designed for one and a half thousand people. The monolithic reinforced concrete building of the temple, with a total area of about 4,500 square meters, was built on two floors, interconnected by three stairs. For the convenience of parishioners, the church has 3 elevators. The concrete elements of the dome are covered with smalt ceramics, and translucent elements are inserted into the windows. Depending on the holiday, the domes of the temple will glow in different colors.

 

The upper temple is dedicated to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, the lower one - to the holy Apostle Andrew the First-Called. Paintings were made in the lower church, galleries, refectories and conference hall. The painting of the dome of the upper temple was made in 2020.

 

The murals of St. Andrew's Church are designed in the traditions of Byzantine painting of the 6th century, as well as in ancient Russian painting of the 10th - 12th centuries. The style of the picturesque decoration of St. Andrew's Church is entirely associated with its external and internal architecture, which are focused on the best examples of Byzantine and ancient Russian architecture, Russian cathedrals of the "neo-Byzantine style".

 

The temple can accommodate one and a half thousand people. Inside there are three elevators, a library, a refectory, a conference room, classrooms for preschoolers, a cloakroom. The church has a Sunday school for children and adults.
