Segments of the heavy metal dome were produced independently and got assembled on the spot. The dome is hydro- and thermo- insulated. The inner part of the dome contains 3 layers mineral wadding and the dome is coated with a wooden layer on the inside.

-          The bell tower, which is now constructed as well, is going to contain 7 bells and 2 clocks.
