The Terem Palace contains three main churches. The Upper Cathedral of

the Savior was built by Bazhen Ogurtsov, Antip Konstantinov, Trefil

Sharutin and Larion Ushakov in 1635-6, during the reign of Mikhail

Feodorovich, over the Tsarina's Golden Room. This church was the

domestic chapel of the male member of the Tsarist family and the

Church of St Catherine served as the private chapel of the Tsarinas

and princesses. A third chapel, the Church of the Nativity of

Lazarus, dates back to 1393 and is one of the oldest remaining

original churches in the Kremlin complex. Between 1680 and 1681, all

these churches were united under a single roof, decorated with eleven

elegant gilt cupolas on brightly tiled slender drums.
