The Russian Cathedral of Nice is reborn.
The Russian Cathedral of Saint Nicolas has rediscovered the lustre of its creation from 1912. It is the most visited place of the French Riviera with more than 250,000 visitors per year. The cathedral was built on the spot where the eldest son of Tsar Alexandre II died. Attached to the Patriarchate of Constantinople until 2011, it officially became the property of the Russian Federation on April 10, 2013, after a long legal battle confirmed three times it was the property of the Russian Federation. In the period in between, the Moscow Patriarchate was in charge of the administrative and cultural duties of the building and had received the keys on December 15th, 2011.

The state of the interior and exterior of the building required urgent and important renovations: the Russian federation decided to finance and manage the large scale renovations over two long years of work between the end of 2013 and spring 2016 for a total cost of almost 14 million euros. More than 100 people worked on the repairs and the result is simply stunning. The Russian community now shares the feeling of a rediscovered space, deified by a perfectly controlled light that seems to come down from heaven.The eyes wander over the forgotten frescoes now meticulously revived all over the walls and its majestic ceilings that highlight the bright sweetness of the iconostasis with its beautiful icons.To celebrate this renewal and fund the operation of the building, the association of the Friends of the Russian Cathedral of Nice (the ACRN) organized a big charity event on Ascension Day in the Julian calendar.More than three hundred people have contributed financially to the organization of the gala dinner held in the Royal salon of the legendary Negresco hotel in Nice.
