context_page_description: The Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin is a fortress in Nizhny Novgorod, the historic city center.
context_section_description: The Kremlin contained many churches, but the only survivor is the Michael the Archangel Cathedral (the 'Archangel Cathedral'), built no later than the middle of the 16th century and rebuilt in 1628-1631. It is the oldest surviving building in the Kremlin. The cathedral contains the tomb of Kuzma Minin.
  In 1828, an obelisk in honor of Kuzma Minin and Dmitry Pozharsky was constructed in front of the Archangel Cathedral (architect Melnikov and Martos).
  The house of the military governor was built in 1837-1841; it is now the Museum of Art.
  The Arsenal was built in 1840-1843 at the direction of Nicholas I.
  In 1931, the Transfiguration Cathedral was replaced by the House of Soviets; that building is now the City Council building.
  In 1965, a memorial complex in honor of Nizhny Novgorod citizens who died in World War II was created, near the obelisk of Minin and Pozharsky; this included an Eternal Flame.
