Pokrovskyi Cathedral, Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Kharkiv, Ukraine
The Pokrovskyi Cathedral features three domes atop a basilica structure, connected to a bell tower through a narthex gallery system.
Construction of the stone cathedral began in 1659 when local Cossacks replaced the original wooden church, completing the project in 1689.
The cathedral complex established itself as an educational center by incorporating the first higher education institution of Kharkiv within its monastery grounds.
Visitors can access the cathedral grounds during regular Orthodox church hours and observe religious ceremonies following Eastern Orthodox traditions.
The cathedral received a 1.6-ton bell in 1732, which remains in the bell tower as a testament to historical craftsmanship.
