In the early 19th century, Potemkin's plans were revived and updated by [[Armand-Emmanuel de Vignerot du Plessis, Duc de Richelieu|Duc de Richelieu]], but construction did not start until 1830. The cathedral was built on a smaller scale than originally planned and was consecrated in 1835. The design is attributed to [[Andreyan Zakharov]], chiefly on the ground of its similarity to [[Saint Andrew's Cathedral, Kronstadt|Zakharov's cathedral]] in [[Kronstadt]].<ref name="sobor"/>
The church was closed to worshippers in 1930 and housed a museum of [[atheism]] between 1975 and 1988. The building was damaged by an [[earthquake]] in 1888 and by bombs during the [[Second World War]].
