The oldest Russian Orthodox parish in Chile: the community of the Kazan Icon was founded on 25 December 1933 and received legal personality in 1937. Its first own church was built in 1946–1947 on a plot donated to the community; the present church, according to Wikipedia, was built in 1975 with the parishioners' funds and labour to a design by engineer R. V. Eple. Since 2 June 2015 a bishop of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia has again served in the church.
