Welcome to Volga Manor
St. Nichola (Nicholas) Church
The original St. Nicholas Church in Harbin was built in 1899 at Hongbo Square.
After the launch of the Chinese Eastern Railway construction in 1896, Tzar Nicholas II decided to build an orthodox cathedral for the Russian community in Harbin. The cultural revolution broke out in 1966 and the cathedral was torn down in 1966.
This St. Nicholas at Volga Manor was reproduced in 2007. This cathedral was the first building constructed in Volga Manor. I called Volga Manor a Russian village but it is really a reproduction of Russian manors in Harbin's rich history and culture.
