Saint Sophia Cathedral under the night

Twelve Travel Notes Follow Saint Sophia Cathedral under the night Saint Sophia Cathedral was built in March of the thirty-third year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty (1907), shortly after the completion of the Middle East Railway. With the garrison of the Tsar's Russian army, a tall Sophia wooden church was built on Zhaolin Street in Harbin. It was originally a military church built by the Fourth Infantry Division of East Siberia of Tsarist Russia when building the Middle East Railway. In the same year, Russian tea merchant I. F. Chisgakov funded and rebuilt a wooden church based on the military church. In 1911, a brick wall was built outside the wooden wall, forming a brick-wood structure church. The church building is arranged in the form of a Greek cross, influenced by Byzantine architectural style, and the main dome and bell tower have traditional Russian 'tent top' and 'onion head' shapes.
