The Catholic Cathedral, unusually beautiful in its architecture, is located in Moscow on Malaya Gruzinskaya Street. This is the largest church in Russia. The neo-Gothic style cathedral is an architectural monument. There is an amazing atmosphere here.

The cathedral building was erected in 1911, but the final finishing work was completed only in 1917. In 1938, the temple was taken away from Catholics. From that moment on, the cathedral went through difficult times. Much was looted and simply destroyed, including the altar and organ. The gradual revival of the temple began in 1989. In December 1999, restoration work was completed. The temple was consecrated by Cardinal Angelo Sodano, ambassador of Pope John Paul II. Since that time, the temple has officially been the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

The cathedral grounds are very well maintained. The building itself is decorated with beautiful lighting.

The walls of the cathedral are decorated with frescoes

Grotto of the Virgin Mary

The cathedral is beautiful not only outside, but also inside.

The cathedral is the center of spiritual and cultural life. Within its walls, not only divine services are held, but also concerts of sacred and classical music.

Excellent acoustics allow you to enjoy music to the fullest.

In 2005, the cathedral received a new organ as a gift from the Lutheran Cathedral of Switzerland.

This is one of the largest organs in Russia - 5563 pipes. It can be compared to a huge living organism that comes to life at the touch of human hands. The sounds of the organ fill the entire cathedral. Listening to the organ, you experience unique amazing sensations: an elastic sound wave pierces right through, three-dimensional sounds penetrate into all your insides. You feel the music on your skin. Organ concerts bring together people of different cultures and religions.

The concerts last more than an hour, but as you soak in the wonderful music, you don’t feel any sense of time. It seems like only a few minutes have passed. At the end of the concert there is silence for some time.

The Roman Catholic Cathedral on Malaya Gruzinskaya is a place for lovers of highly spiritual organ music. It is surprising in everything: its neo-Gothic architecture, atypical for Moscow, its rich interior decoration and music that transports listeners to another century. The rich poster is a credit to the Art of Good charity foundation, which organizes all the concerts. Proceeds go to charity.

This Moscow church is popular not only among guests of the capital, but also among its indigenous residents. More than 120 thousand people visit it annually. In addition to sacred music, events that are not entirely typical for this place are held here: rock ballads, music from The Little Prince are performed, an English school choir performs, and much more.

Organ concerts for everyone

The famous Kuhn organ is installed in the Moscow Cathedral on Malaya Gruzinskaya. The instrument ranks fourth in size among Russian organs. It is located on the second floor of the church, so in order for people to watch the playing process, there is a screen installed in the hall on which the organist with the instrument is broadcast.

There are benches in the temple, so you can sit comfortably and listen to music. If you are going to a concert in winter, it is recommended to dress warmly, as it will definitely be cool. On the territory of the church there is a small parking lot, a children's playground and a garden, which is pleasant to walk through in spring and summer.
