When
 Aiganysh was travelling by car, she took this photograph of a building.
 Despite her best efforts, the building came out a little blurry.
 
 Can you figure out what the building is used for?
 
 What is the function of this building?

From the list the first two words appear to be КАЗАН КУЙГАН we can start with this as the last word does not appear clearly. Let us go to google maps to search for the place to see if we can find it.
