The cathedral is the oldest church in St Petersburg. It has an intimate relationship with the House of Romanov as it is home to the tombs of nearly all the Tsars since Peter the Great.
Maria Feodorovna, the Empress of Russia, who died in exile in her native Denmark, was reinterred here on 28/9/2006, 78 years after her death. Her tomb was being completed when we were there.
