Catherine's Church, Orthodox cathedral in Chernihiv, Ukraine

The cathedral features five golden domes and white stone walls, constructed in Ukrainian Baroque style with intricate window trimmings and decorative pilasters.

Built in 1715, the cathedral honors the Chernihiv regiment of Cossacks for their valor during the siege of the Turkish fortress Azov in 1696.

The cathedral maintains Eastern Orthodox traditions through regular services and ceremonies, serving as a spiritual center for the Chernihiv Orthodox community.

Located on Cathedral Square near Kotsiubinsky Park, the cathedral underwent restoration between 1947 and 1955 to repair damage from World War II.

The cathedral houses the relic shrine containing Saint Mercury's body, following his canonization ceremony performed in 2011.
