About half a kilometre south of Ploschad Lenina, at very end of Ulitsa Lenina on the intersection with the M7 'Volga' motorway, is the pretty Our Lady of Kazan Church. The church dates from 1708 when it was built in what was then the village of Krasnoe to replace two wooden churches. In 1817 the church's five domes were added. The church remained open throughout the Soviet period.
