  • Ascension Cathedral (or, Zenkov Cathedral) in the City of Almaty, Kazakhstan - the Zenkov Cathedral in Almaty in Kazakhstan. Let's visit the magnificent Ascension Cathedral (also known as Zenkov Cathedral) which is a Russian Orthodox cathedral located in Panfilov Park in Almaty, Kazakhstan. Completed in 1907, the Ascension Cathedral (also known as Zenkov Cathedral) is made out of wood but without nails. Ascension Cathedral (Zenkov Cathedral) has a height of 56 meters tall, and is claimed to be the second tallest wooden building in the world. Construction took place between 1904 and 1907.
    The Ascension Cathedral (Zenkov Cathedral) survived the 1911 earthquake with minimal damage, even though it was built without any nails, which some bishops attributed to divine intervention, although some credit might also be given to the advanced anti-earthquake techniques invented or employed by the architect, Andrei Pavlovich Zenkov.

      Very true, I am glad I made it inside.. The first time (when I videotaped the outside) I was not allowed inside.. I had to go back 2 days later and I am glad I did so..
