6th Liniya, 11
1764-80. Architect A.Viest
The cathedral is designed in a style transitional
from Baroque to Classicism and stands out for
an intricate plan composition. The semicircular
shape of the apse is repeated in the southern
and northern facades. A two-tier belfry is
attached to the refectory, that is topped with a
spire. The main volume is topped with five
elongated domes on high polyhedral drums. In
1848-1850s the cathedral had the side chapels
attached to it, that changed the original
composition (architect N.Grebionka). Inside, the
carved wooden iconostasis has remained.
