The St Nicholas Orthodox Cathedral, Nice is a Russian Orthodox cathedral, controlled directly by the Property Administration of the Moscow Kremlin but nevertheless a national monument of France located in the city of Nice. The cathedral, consecrated in December 1912 in memory of Nicholas Alexandrovich, Tsarevich of Russia, who died in Nice, was meant to serve the large Russian community that had settled in Nice by the end of the 19th century, as well as devout visitors from the Imperial Court. Opened in 1912, thanks to the generosity of Russia's Tsar Nicholas II, it is the largest Russian cathedral in Western Europe. [Wiki]
