Cathedral of the Resurrection

The Cathedral of the Resurrection is an Eastern Orthodox church in Narva built from red brick with Byzantine Revival design elements. The structure stands out for its solid silhouette and granite staircases at the entrances.

The foundation stone was laid in 1890 during a ceremony attended by Russian Czar Alexander III. The building arose during a period when the city was part of the Russian Empire.

The interior contains a three-part carved iconostasis and religious paintings that shape the visual experience when entering the church. These artworks reflect the Orthodox tradition that believers and visitors encounter during worship.

The church is open during regular Orthodox services and accommodates many visitors and worshippers. It helps to plan your visit around service times and wear clothing that respects the religious setting.

The building was the only intact structure in Narva to survive the heavy bombing campaigns of 1944 during World War II. This surprising preservation makes it a rare witness to the city's previous layout.
