Cantor Church, Eastern Orthodox church in Qazvin, Iran.
The red brick Cantor Church features a three-story bell tower reaching 11 meters high, with a cruciform layout and irregular polygonal structure.
Russian engineers constructed this church in 1905 during their work on road development projects throughout the Qazvin region of Iran.
The church's architectural design combines Russian Orthodox elements with local Iranian building techniques, visible in its decorative pillars and horseshoe-shaped windows.
Visitors can explore this historical monument without any entrance fee from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM, with spring offering the most favorable weather conditions.
The church grounds contain a small cemetery with tombs, including one dedicated to a Russian pilot and a memorial for a road engineer.
