About the place
In May 1898 an uprising in Andijan killed a number of Russian soldiers and a priest, who were buried in the Orthodox cemetery. The chapel was put up beside them to a sketch by I. R. Sakovich and consecrated in May 1899. It is a plain rectangular building with a cross on the roof, meant for about a hundred people. It was closed by the state in 1931 and does not hold services today, so it is mainly of interest from the outside.
