Feodoro cathedral

Soon the cathedral was closed for reconstruction. All property (in addition to the iconostasis) of the temporary temple was moved to the lower aisle (cave temple), which was consecrated on November 27, 1912 and used for prayers of the imperial family in the winter. At the same time, the construction of the cathedral began, which was carried out thanks to the investment of Nicholas II, his wife and several merchants. On August 20, 1912, the cathedral was consecrated. On January 26, 1914, the church was named Theodore Sovereign Cathedral.

The temple looked solemn and strictly external, and delightfully decorated in the spirit of ancient Russian church art inside. On the coast of the Bucket Pond there was a royal porch, where the imperial family came before the beginning of the service.

In 1933, the cathedral was closed, the property of the temple was redirected to museums. In the lower temple, an archive of film and photographic documents was founded. A cinema was organized in the upper temple.

During the Second World War, the cathedral was partially destroyed. At the end of the XX century, services resumed in the lower and upper temples. On the 75th anniversary of the execution of the imperial family, a monument to Nicholas II was erected near the temple.
