🏛 Sovetskaya Square and the Trinity Cathedral

Клин, Советская пл.

The centre of old Klin on Leningradskoye Highway: the trading arcades, the Trinity Cathedral and the “Shop Under the Clock”.

The Trinity Cathedral was built with townspeople's money from 1802 and consecrated by Metropolitan Filaret on 24 May 1836.
The cathedral's single-tier iconostasis was designed by the architect Bove.
The cathedral was “cold”: a stove was built in it only in 1891.
In 1929 the cathedral was closed and turned into a canteen, the bell tower was converted into a water tower, and after the war it was a house of culture.
The cathedral was returned to the Church on 28 November 2008, and in December the bells rang over the square for the liturgy for the first time in almost a century.
Klin's oldest church, the 16th-century Dormition Church, stands 400 metres north-east of the cathedral.
