Built from 1906 to 1912 by the young architect "New Russian" Alexey Schusev (1873-1949), recognised later for his constructivism which will mark the highest places in Moscow - including the Red Square by his Lenin mausoleum - the cathedral of the Trinity, with heavy shapes, looks like a medieval church in Northern Russia.
On this great, very austere white bloc, percé tiny windows and covered with a single golden dome, only the main entrance - surmounted by Theotokos - and the closed door of the southern facade - which bears a Byzantine Christ - are strongly decorated by the paintings and symbolists mosaics, masterpieces "New Russian" by Nicholas Roerich. There are also two semi-subterranean churches of the late th century: Saint-Job and Saints-Antoine-et-Théodose.
