About the company:
The Nikolaev Sea Cathedral was built in 1903-1913 according to the project of V.A. Kosyakov. The laying of the temple took place in the presence of the imperial family and was consecrated by St. John of Kronstadt.
In May 1980, the Kronstadt Fortress Museum, a branch of the Central Naval Museum, was opened at the choirs and galleries of the cathedral. In seven halls with a total area of 900 square meters were exhibited naval guns, paintings, sculptures, photographs, personal belongings of famous Russian sailors, etc. By presidential decree of February 20, 1995, the Nikolaev Sea Cathedral received the status of an architectural monument of federal significance.
On June 1, 2009, due to the start of restoration work in the Kronstadt Sea Cathedral, the branch of the CVMM Kronstadt Fortress stopped receiving visitors. Since July 7, 2013, the Kronstadt Sea Cathedral has been reopened for visitors.
