In the mid-1800s the Russian upper class, as well as the Tsars, started visiting the French Riviera during winter. Unfortunately during a visit in 1865, the son of Alexander II, Tsesarevich Nicholas Alexandrovich died of meningitis. Sometime later, after buying the land, the Tsar and the Empress ordered a chapel built in the exact spot where Nicholas died.

Preobrajensky by an assortment of engineers, under the direction of a certain Golitsyn, appointed by Tsar Nicholas II to oversee the development of the project. source https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/st-nicholas-russian-orthodox-cathedral
