12. Nicholas Cathedral was ruined during Soviet period. In the middle of the 17 th century there had been a wooden church in Menzelinsk fortress. Exactly at the place it had been situated at the beginning of the 19 th century it was built stone Nicholas Cathedral. Building of the cathedral started in 1807 and was consecrated in 1813.

13. On April 29, 1938 the presidium of the Town Soviet of peoples deputies decided to close the cathedral and give the building to Menzelinsk agricultural technical school. On July 1940, it was given to be used as a cinema then there was a mill department. As the result the church chapel and foundation were destroyed. At present time it is made efforts to give back to Nicholas Cathedral it is former beauty.

14. The next attraction is the Mosque. Mingaray Sitdikov gave a square for building a mosque. In 1910 two-storied brick mosque was built. It was opened on October 26, 1911. The mosque is situated in the center of our town and one of the tallest building.
