Pokrov Cathedral on Novokuznetskaya

The Intercession Cathedral or the Cathedral of the Intercession of the Most Holy Mother of God is located on Novokuznetskaya Street of Moscow.

Now the temple acts as a cathedral of the Russian Church. Initially, the temple was built as a church for Old Believers. Construction was carried out from 1908 to 1910 according to the project of architect N. P. Omelustoy. Unfortunately, during the entire period of Soviet rule, the original decoration of the temple, the interior painting, was lost. But the church still preserved some fragments of the painting of the icon-painting workshop of Y. A. Bogatenko.

In the 30s, the temple was closed, and only in 1990 it was handed over to the behemoths, who in 2000 transferred the chair of the primate of the Russian Old Orthodox Church here.

Pokrovsky temple is an object of cultural heritage of regional importance. It is located in Zamoskvorechye on Novokuznetskaya Street, house 38. Paveletskaya metro station is within walking distance.
