And in 1907 in the place of an old chapel in Chelyabinsk was laid the Temple of Alexander Nevsky . Its beautiful one-story building was executed in the Neo-Russian style and richly decorated with red brick decor. The church itself was the 13th chapter. But in the years of Soviet power the temple stopped working. Here were located various institutions, while in the 80s the building was not transferred to the Chelyabinsk Philharmonic. In the building of the former Temple of Alexander Nevsky, the organ was installed and the Chamber and Organ Music Hall was opened.
