Transfiguration Cathedral, Chernihiv
Transfiguration Cathedral, Chernihiv, Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Chernihiv, Ukraine
The cathedral features three naves, three apses, and five domes, with two prominent towers flanking the main facade of the religious structure.
Construction of the Transfiguration Cathedral began in 1036 under Prince Mstislav of Chernigov, reaching the height of a horseman when he died in that period.
The cathedral houses 62 icons within its iconostasis, created by artists T. Myzko and Oleksander Murashko during the late 18th century renovation works.
The cathedral maintains original elements including carved slate parapets, 11th-century frescoes, oil paintings, and marble column bases accessible to visitors.
The cathedral contains the burial site of Prince Mstislav and serves as a mausoleum for the Chernihiv princely dynasty within its ancient walls.
