Cathedral of Our Lady of Feodorovskaya
The currently operating Cathedral of the Feodorovskaya Icon of the Mother of God was erected in honor of the 300th anniversary of the Royal House of Romanov in 1914. It is known that it was in front of this icon that Mikhail Romanov was solemnly crowned king in 1613.

Vosstaniya Square, Mirgorodskaya street, 1 b
For this purpose, a competition was announced in 1910, in which the project of the Russian architect S. S. Krichinsky won.
According to his plan, a white-stone five-domed temple was built, which in its appearance resembled the churches of Rostov, erected in the 17th century. The decoration and interior decoration of the temple was identical and magnificent.
The vaults and walls of the cathedral were decorated with colored majolica and tiles. On the main, northern facade there was a grandiose icon of the Mother of God Hodegetria, made of majolica according to sketches by the artist S. V. Chekhonin. Those entering the temple were greeted by a mosaic image of the Savior, which was a copy of the work of V. M. Vasnetsov. The silver tabernacle reproduced the Assumption Cathedral in the Kremlin. The magnificent chandelier, suspended on chains in the middle of the temple, was a semblance of the “cap of the great outfit” of Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich. The lavishly decorated four-tiered iconostasis was modeled after the iconostasis of the Moscow Church of the Georgian Mother of God, where the Romanov boyars formerly prayed. Feodorovsky Cathedral (Cathedral of the Feodorovskaya Mother of God) On January 15, 1914, Metropolitan Vladimir (Epiphany) consecrated the main altar of the upper church in the name of the Feodorovskaya Icon of the Mother of God.
It was attended by Tsar Nicholas II himself, as well as members of his family - his wife and daughters. In the fortress tower erected nearby, it was planned to build a museum of the House of Romanov, and on the cathedral square to erect a monument to Alexander Nevsky, in whose name the altar of the lower church was consecrated. These intentions were not destined to come true, since the events of the revolution soon broke out. Feodorovsky Cathedral (Cathedral of the Mother of God of Feodorovskaya) Feodorovsky Cathedral was one of the first to be closed in 1918. At first, a Sunday school was located here, and later in the 1920s, a dairy factory was set up in the looted and mutilated church. Its domes were demolished, the decor was removed, and the space underwent significant redevelopment. The temple building was transferred to the Orthodox Church only in 2005. Its restoration took place over 8 years. The consecration ceremony of the cathedral took place in September 2013. From this moment on, services are regularly held in the temple.
