Saint Peter and Paul Cathedral, Karlovy Vary, Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic.

The Saint Peter and Paul Cathedral features five golden domes and stands 40 meters high with intricate Byzantine architectural elements throughout its structure.

Construction began in 1893 under architect Gustav Wiedermann, replacing a former orthodox chapel, and the cathedral opened its doors in 1897.

The wooden iconostasis contains oil paintings of saints by artist Tyurin, originally created for the 1900 World Exhibition in Paris.

The cathedral maintains regular visiting hours and serves as the primary Eastern Orthodox religious center in the western region of Czech Republic.

The cathedral's design draws direct inspiration from the Church of the Holy Trinity in Moscow's Ostankinsky district, incorporating traditional Russian architectural elements.
