Thanks to Anatol for the swap.
"During the years 1851-1876 an Orthodox Church was built in the fortress designed by the academician of the Russian Academy of Arts, architect David Ivanovich Grimm. It is a domed building, church basilica in the Byzantine style, in which 8 columns were installed. Light came through 7 windows in the altar area and the same number of windows on each side. The church was painted in the Romanesque style. The majestic dome was crowned with a St. George's Cross. In the early twentieth century St. Nicholas’s Garrison Church was the main temple of the western Russian region, one of the most beautiful temples built in the center of Europe."
