The temple of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God, which is being re-erected in the capital of Tatarstan on the site of the cathedral blown up in 1932, upon completion of construction, may receive the status of a UNESCO monument.
According to the Kazanfirst portal, Tatyana Prokofieva, the chief architect of Kazan, said. The foundation stone of the temple took place two years ago by decree of the President of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov. The restoration of the historical church is carried out with the assistance of the Republican Fund 'Renaissance'. By the end of autumn this year, it is planned to complete the roofing, facade and finishing work inside the church. Then the building will need a pause of two to three years before icon painters can start painting. The cost of the work already completed to this day is estimated at 750 million rubles. The area of the cathedral will be 1650 square meters; height - 44 meters, and with crosses that will be installed on the domes until the end of summer - 48 meters. Let us remind you that the historical cathedral in honor of the icon of the Mother of God 'Kazan' was founded in the Mother of God monastery in 1798 and erected according to the project of the architect Ivan Starov. The ceremony was attended by Emperor Paul I, along with his sons Alexander and Constantine.
