The construction of the chapel of Church of the Holy Ioann's Predtechi house began at the end of the major works in administrative-a residential building, at the end of 1880. In 1888 — 1891, civil engineer P. Maslennikov said the project, performs a cost estimate and calculation of stability of vaults and arches of the chapel. He also directs proizvodstvom work completed by 1897. In 1900 produced the first extension of the Church, the superstructure of the refectory with the enrichment of interior for the guidance of architect A. A. Falbaum. In 1914, the houseChurch of the Holy Ioann's Predtech extended a major extension to the South façade of the refectory, which brought the South entrance to the main street. Entering this was was included in a large arched doorway with stained glass fill. Bishop's house with the chapel of Church of the Holy Ioann's Predtech and a garden was formed by quarter and site development Novosobornaya square and main street — the resurrection (now Prospekt Mira)

The premises of the chapel of Church of the Holy Ioann's Predtech adjoins the South side to the bishops ' home, forming the corner of prospect Mira and street.

Plinth of granite blocks complete profile of a shaft and two shelves. The quadrangular bell tower stands on the Western facade, repeating the Eastern facade of the administrative-residential buildings. The nature of window frames is also similar on both wings of the house. They are repeated in the later additions, but not plastered and few coarseness. The end of the southern promontory of slotted ogromnym arched opening filled with stained glass. On the sides of the opening, the rows of massive pilasters with square interceptions are parts of the cornice of the lower layer.

The building includes the original core — (three -) cruciform-plan Church ( square at the base of the temple with a rectangular altar and two side chapels, a refectory and a longitudinally elongated wide base of the bell tower and later additions at the South and North facades, revealing the transverse axis of the volume. The quadrangle is a wide octagonal temple with a narrow diagonal edges, completed with false Dormer Windows with triangular pediments.

So at night among the grey buildings of the temple alone attracts, surrounded by a halo of warm light. On the West side of the temple erected a monument to St. Luke is our compatriot, the physician, the textbooks which is still learning to young doctors.

Monument of cult architecture of the second half of the XIX century in the Russian style, a unique and complex space-planning composition. Part of the multifunctional building complex. Gradiometry retains a significant role due to large size, richness and variety of shapes and silhouette.

St. Nicholas Temple-monument of victims of political repression.

Consecrated in 1998.

Project author: architect V. V. Terskov.

St. Nicholas temple-monument was conceived before the construction of the old residents and well-wishers at the scene of the passage of the repressed and prisoners unjustly suffering.

This place is a transplant from trains to barges for shipment to the North.

The first Foundation stone of the future Church was consecrated on 6 February 1994 Preosvjashchennym Anthony Bishop (now Archbishop). The construction lasted 4 years and was connected with many difficulties and hardships. Construction was carried out through the efforts of the Board of Trustees the administration of the Kirov district, of the city administration, heads of regional and city administration, Diocesan Administration, entrepreneurs and individuals.

October 30, 1998, the day of memory of victims of repression, occurred the consecration of the newly built St. Nicholas Church.

December 2, 1999, the temple-monument to victims of repression visited visited his Holiness Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Alexy II and aversis funeral service.

The temple was built under the project of Vladimir Viktorovich the Terek, 30 m high (with the cross), has one chapel, an area of 25 m2 with capacity for 70 people. The Church are children's and adult Sunday school and Orthodox brotherhood.

Once this land was held of the Siberian hard way, and the place of the temple housed a transit camp for prisoners. Today, the temple is not only a symbol of faith to parishioners, he became a full hallmark of the Kirov area: here, married couples, and the Park is a memorable place for residents of the area and the traditional venue for the birthday celebration of the Kirov district.

When I was in this Church 4 years ago there was only the temple building. Now there is a whole complex which includes an arched gate with a bell tower located on them, which is crowned by an octagonal dome. The Church and gate designed in the same style stone tent-shaped architecture,this is very unusual, because the churches differ from the dome. This can be seen, drawing attention to the roof of buildings such the Church of napominat tower. As well as the restored parish school Mature, in my opinion, in the cross-dome style, usual for Orthodox churches.

Today the Church keeps the lists of the repressed in the 1930 - 1950 years of the Orthodox priests.

Next to the Church Foundation stone, the inscription on which States that there will be built a monument to special forces soldiers who died in local conflicts. I believe that such buildings as the Cathedral and the monument, we need to remind you, because it is impossible to forget about the tragedies of the people, otherwise they will be repeated again.

 Pokrovsky Cathedral

Pokrovsky Cathedral is the oldest surviving stone buildings of Krasnoyarsk. The monument of the Yenisei Siberian Baroque school.
The basis of the composition of the intercession Church is a traditional "ship": on the axis East — West is a semicircular altar, the quadrangle of the Church, a spacious refectory and a bell tower. Complicate the composition is symmetrical, the side and late Western tents. Built on the model of the Troitskaya Church in Yeniseisk, using notched and hewn bricks, with rich decor and stucco one floor. Stesney new buildings, preserved fence of wrought iron on brick pillars.

Place for the construction of the stone Church of the intercession was selected to the North-West of the wood, at the intersection of the main thoroughfare of the city, Voskresenskaya street, with the future St. Basil's lane, passing through the former city wall, which housed the old "people sliding down the house" (now the corner of prospect Mira and street Surikova). Parishioners 322 households (residents and polgorodnik villages) chose "the Church Builder" retired nobleman Mikhail Yushkov, a descendant of old Cossack family. In Krasnoyarsk was not their masters of stone craft, so invited masons from Yeniseisk (Stepan Leshcheva, Basil Gatilov, Ivan Pomaskina, Alexei Casareyna, brothers Ivan and Sava Fedorov). Built Church of the intercession "to the efforts of the parishioners and the willing givers", that is, voluntary donations of citizens. Parishioners at a time carried out all ancillary works on the construction site, hauled sand, bricks, timber, water, harvested rubble stone, lime, ensured the protection of materials. To call the Church of the intercession, not the Epiphany, as originally anticipated, and decided "progolosovali all parishioners" on 2 April 1785, Founded in 1785, consecrated in 1795


 For its intended purpose, the Church building was used until 1935, then with the beginning of Stalin's repressions in the 30-ies of XX century the Cathedral was closed and transferred to the military unit. In fact, he started to operate from October 1944 through the efforts of father Nikolai Popov, who appealed to the Executive Committee of the Krasnoyarsk city Council with a request to replace the current premises in February 1943 Nicholas Church on the premises of the intercession of the Church as "more capacious" and "is in the center of the population". The request was supported by the Archbishop Luke (Voyno-Yasenetsky). In the spring of 1944 The Council for Russian Orthodox Church to the CPC of the USSR adopted a decision to open the Church of the intercession. The summer and most of autumn future community devoted to repair and restoration "rescheduled" and badly littered and disfigured, temporary occupants of the temple. May 8, 1945 signed the agreement on transfer by the Executive Committee of the intercession of the Church to believers. The rector of her Church and the Orthodox churches in the Krasnoyarsk region was assigned to N. V. Popov (1946, FR), in the difficult post-war years put a lot of effort to organize Church life in the province.

In connection with the coming to power of N. S. Khrushchev (1954-1961) the persecution of the Church was resumed. In 1955, the Abbot of the Pokrov Church Eugene Isidorovich Nasekula began a major overhaul of the temple. Father Eugene fabricated the criminal case about the use in the repair of "stolen" materials. In 1958, Eugene "dismissed from the staff because of his conviction by the decision of Krasnoyarsk criada". And in the early 1960s, the main temple of the region closed down again.

Currently, the Church returned to the original form, lost after the cessation of services in the 60-ies of the last century: intense pink-brown walls replaced the historic white roof repainted in sky blue (2012: green).
In 1990, after the restoration of the Krasnoyarsk diocese, the Church was given the status of Cathedral.
In March 2008, at the Cathedral of the intercession under the arched vault of the porch opposite the entrance to the Central part of the temple was found miraculously surviving mural of the late XVIII — early XIX century with the image of the icon of the feast day, which was later restored.

Pokrovsky Cathedral is an active Church. Included in the register of objects of cultural heritage of Federal importance. Located at the address: 660049, Krasnoyarsk Krai, Krasnoyarsk, Surikova street, 26.

ORGAN HALL

Organ hall in Krasnoyarsk - in the past the Roman Catholic Church "the Church of the Transfiguration". The building was built in Gothic style in 1911 (architect Vladimir Sokolovsky) and is a historical monument.

In 1922, the building was nationalized by the Soviet power and in 1936 transferred to the host of cultural objects. For several decades the building of the temple was actually destroyed and only at the turn of 1970-1980-ies began its recovery.

Confirms the Gothic style, a certain lightness and aiming for the top of the building, height with the towers, focus towers, stained-glass Windows. Two monumental towers are connected to the Central building.

16 Sep 1982 temple first opened its doors as a concert hall, and a year later on the stage appeared on the Czech firm "Rieger-Kloss" (3 manuals and pedal, 30 registers). The length of the largest pipe is almost 5 meters, the diameter of the smallest pipe a few millimeters.

Since that time, the Organ hall of the Krasnoyarsk Philharmonic became one of the centers of academic art in Siberia – the only one in the Krasnoyarsk region on a brass showed their art musicians from around the world.

The building was built very quickly and 15 August 1912, electro N.N. Gadalova in the art Nouveau style, called "Art", was opened. If you look at it there was a feeling of lightness, delicacy and airiness.

City Newspapers paid a lot of attention to the opening of cinema N. N. Gadalova.
"The composition of the facades of the building is intertwined motifs of the Petersburg buildings of the early twentieth century, which studied S. G. Drizhenko, and works of European modernism with the triumphant chords of the power and splendor of the Oriental.
The plastic of the main facade of the building determined the bright palette of a variety of moulded parts and patterns characteristic of art Nouveau: intense mask, "Baroque" drapery protruding from the shells and leaves, Lotus flowers on winding stems, wheels and garlands, ornament from exotic plants."
( From a report Greenberg, Y. I.)

July 14, 1913, N.N. Gadalov renames the cinema "Art" in "Cinema" leases V. A. Polyakov. With this name lived before the revolution, and then was again renamed. It was named the very boring name "SOVKINO".
