Temples and cathedrals in Volgograd

Q: What historical places of Volgograd should a lover of ancient Russian architecture visit?

The house of the merchant Shlykov (1896) demonstrates eclecticism with kokoshniks and carved casings, and the building of the Tsaritsyn fire brigade (1897) is an example of brick style. Of particular interest is the Repnikov estate with preserved wings of the XIX century.
