Inside the Kremlin
Our Lady of Tikhvin Cathedral
The Our Lady of Tikhvin Cathedral was built between 1858 and 1861 to replace an earlier version dating from 1776. It is a pretty red and white cathedral with five domes. Unlike the Dormition Cathedral which was built to be used as a summer church, this in the kremlin's winter church meaning it is heated and remains open in the winter months. The cathedral is adjoined with the kremlin's bell tower which has a 6,400kg bell named Pimen, which was made in Voronezh and put in place in 2004.
