Cathedral of Our Lady of Kazan (Kazansky Sobor)

Cathedral of Our Lady of Kazan (Kazansky Sobor) Review

Built between 1633 and 1636 to commemorate Russia's liberation from Polish occupation during the Time of Troubles, this church was purposely blown up in 1936, and then rebuilt and fully restored in 1993. Its salmon-and-cream-painted brick and gleaming gold cupolas are now a colorful magnet at the northeast corner of Red Square, between the Historical Museum and GUM. Inside and outside hang icons of Our Lady of Kazan. Many worshippers visit throughout the day.
