Lonely Planet review for Kazan Cathedral
The great colonnaded arms of the Kazan Cathedral reach out towards Nevsky. Built between 1801 and 1811, its design, by Andrei Voronikhin, a former serf, was influenced by St Peter’s in Rome. His original plan was to build a second, mirror version of the cathedral opposite. This highly atmospheric church is well worth entering but be aware that it is a working cathedral, so please show some respect for the local customs.
