Zenkovy house, Wooden architectural heritage site in Panfilov Park, Almaty, Kazakhstan.
The Zenkovy House stands 56 meters tall and features intricate wooden construction techniques throughout its entire structure, from floor to ceiling.
Built between 1904 and 1907 by architect A.P. Zenkov, this cathedral survived the 1911 earthquake due to its engineering methods without metal nails.
The building contains religious artworks and an iconostasis created in workshops from Moscow and Kiev during the early twentieth century.
Located in central Almaty, the cathedral opens daily for visitors and religious services, with guided tours available in multiple languages.
The structure remains one of the tallest wooden buildings globally, constructed entirely from wood using specialized engineering methods from the early 1900s.
