Naval Cathedral of Saint Nicholas in #Kronstadt #cathedral #church #stpetersburg #saintpetersburg #Russia / This is a Russian Orthodox cathedral built in 1903–1913 as the main church of the Russian Navy and dedicated to all fallen seamen. The cathedral was closed in 1929, was converted to a cinema, a House of Officers (1939) and a museum of the Navy (1980). The Russian Orthodox Church reinstalled the cross on the main dome in 2002 and served the first Divine Liturgy in the cathedral in 2005.In 2013 was fully restored. PS: to me personally it is more museum now than the real cathedral but interiors are spectacular and very expensive. (at Кронштадтский Морской Собор)
