St. Nicholas Belogorsk Orthodox Missionary Men's Monastery is situated in the picturesque Ural spurs 120km from Perm and 85km from Kungura.
White Mountain, Belogorye, Ural Afon - that's how locals call this place. In memory of the wondrous deliverance of Cesarevitch Nicholas from the policeman
attack in Japan on White Mountain there was placed a huge cross that people started to call the Tsar one (10m 65cm).
Krestovozdvizhensky (Holy Cross) Cathedral was laid in June, 24th, 1902. Its building lasted 15 years, when it was finished the cathedral accomodated 8000 people. It was opened in 1917.
