The costs were largely paid by none other than Tsar Alexander III. However, after the Russian Orthodox community, which had long been present in Vienna, finally had its own church, the fate of the building soon took a rather sad turn. When on the eve of the First World War the diplomatic staff of the Russian embassy was withdrawn, the church was closed. With the beginning of the First World War the church was closed and placed under the custody of Spain which was Cathedral of St. neutral. In the years that followed it served as a storage room and **** Luigi Giacomelli Jauresgasse 2 Nicholas was temporarily used by the music school of the city.

Shortly thereafter in 1962 it became the seat of the bishop of the Eparchy of Vienna, and was thus elevated to the rank of a cathedral. But the turbulent history had left its traces. Roofs and facades were damaged and the building was threatened by moisture. In 2003-2008 the danger was averted by extensive renovation works. For the construction of the building, 30 loads of Russian soil were transported to the Austrian and served as the subsoil of the cathedral.
