At the beginning of the 20th century in
the city of Alexandrovsk-Grushevsky
(now the city of Shakhty in the Rostov
region) there were two functioning
wooden churches - Petropavlovsk and
Alexander-Nevskaya. These churches
were no longer able to provide spiritual
guidance to all parishioners. This was the
reason for the decision of the Don
Religious Consistory to build a new stone
cathedral church in the Church-Market
Square, which was built in 1899.
