The Saints Peter and Paul Cathedral in Kazan was built in 1722 and commissioned by the merchant Ivan Afanasievich Mikhlyaev, who headed the imperial factories in Kazan. The article names no architect. It says the cathedral and its bell tower were most likely built by Moscow and Kazan masters.
The article calls it one of the most famous churches in the Naryshkin Baroque style. It describes the cathedral as oriental-like, and it stands together with a bell tower. The church was consecrated in honor of the heavenly patron of Peter I of Russia, though the source sentence is garbled.
It is a Russian Orthodox church in Kazan, Tatarstan. The article relies largely on a single source and records few other details, so readers who want more should consult specialist references.
