In the heart of Panfilov Park, this church is one of the city's most beautiful monuments, and Almaty's oldest building. Constructed of wood (it is one of the tallest wooden buildings in the world, with a tower 56 m high), it has withstood every earthquake since 1904, even though it was assembled without a single nail. This large, brightly-colored and gilded church was returned to Orthodox worship in 1995, after having been transformed into a museum and concert hall during the Soviet period.

Aussi belle dedans que dehors. Ai été accueilli par une dame qui grattait le sol de cette église et qui m'a expliqué en russe quelques objets et tableaux présents.
Meme si je ne comprends pas la langue cet échange a été fort car elle a su me faire partager sa ferveur religieuse par ses gestes et sa gentillesse.
