Legend "Church of Simeon and Helena"
Legend has it that already seriously ill Elena, a few days before her death, saw in a dream an angel who showed her a temple of unprecedented beauty. In the morning, when she woke up, she painted what she saw in her dream and asked her father to build in her memory exactly the same church. Voinilovich turned to the City Duma with a proposal to build a church at his own expense, but with two conditions: the church will be built according to the project provided to them and will be consecrated in honor of Saints Simeon and Helen. The city authorities gave the go-ahead. On November 21, 1910, the church, built of red brick in the New Romanesque style, was solemnly consecrated. 2 small towers symbolized the memory of early departed children, the big - inconsolable parental grief.
