Catherine's Church in Krasnodar
The history of this temple is interesting, because it was built as a token of gratitude to the higher forces for saving the royal family. In 1889, the train crashed, in which members of the august family miraculously survived. And in 1900 a temple with seven thrones was laid here, the main one was the Great Martyrs of Catherine , others - in honor of the patrons of the royal family - Olga, Xenia, Maria, Michael, Nicholas and George.
The construction was headed by the architect Ivan Malherb, and it lasted until 1914. For 15 years, the temple was repeatedly looted, once it even wanted to explode.
To celebrate the millennium of the baptism of Rus, the temple was restored, and as long as there is always a bell ringing. The main dome in 2012 was covered with gold leaf.

Temple of Alexander Nevsky (Krasnodar)
In 1853, on the central square in Yekaterinodar (the old name of Krasnodar) was laid the army cathedral, the construction of which ended only 19 years later, after which it was consecrated.
The interior of the temple is made in the Russian-Byzantine style, including the Florentine windows. In the cathedral a museum of the Cossacks was created, in which relics of the Kuban Cossacks were kept. Immediately at the temple was created the Kuban Cossack Choir, which exists to this day.
