Iveron chapel

Iveron chapel, Orthodox chapel in Harbin, China.

Iveron Chapel was a lost Orthodox chapel that stood from 1933 to 1966 within the fence of St. Nicholas Cathedral in Harbin, on the north side of the church. It was an exact copy of the Iveron Chapel in Moscow, built by engineer E. A. Ulasovets from a sketch by professor P. F. Fedorovsky. It housed a wonder-working image of the Mother of God and the icon of St. Nicholas moved from the Harbin railway station.

The chapel was built in 1933 inside the fence of St. Nicholas Cathedral in Harbin, on the church's north side, as an exact copy of Moscow's Iveron Chapel, demolished in 1929. The initiative came from cathedral warden E. V. Popov; engineer E. A. Ulasovets drew the project from a sketch by professor P. F. Fedorovsky. It was founded in summer 1933 and finished that October. In August 1966 Red Guards destroyed it together with the cathedral.

The chapel was built as a copy of Moscow's Iveron Chapel, demolished in 1929, and housed a miracle-working icon of the Mother of God. The icon of St Nicholas was moved here from Harbin's 1903 station after authorities removed it. From 1933 to 1963, neighbour Varvara Fedotova looked after the interior. The chapel was destroyed in August 1966, and its icons were burned.

The chapel no longer exists: it was demolished in August 1966 along with Saint Nicholas Cathedral, so there is nothing to visit at the original site. A full-size reconstruction of the cathedral with the Iveron Chapel, designed by architect Nikolai Kradin, stands at the Volga Manor tourist site created in 2012 by businessman Huang Zu Xiang.

The chapel was demolished to its foundations in August 1966 by Red Guards, together with the cathedral; icons from it and other Harbin churches were burned. In 2012 a full-size replica of the chapel and St Nicholas Cathedral was built at the Volga Manor tourist site, designed by architect Nikolai Kradin.
