Cathedral of Our Lady of "The Omen"

The cathedral features a cross-domed construction with extended western section, white marble walls, and high gilded chandelier under the central dome point.

Built between 1816 and 1826 to commemorate the Russian victory over Napoleon, the cathedral underwent multiple reconstructions and served as a cinema from 1937 to 1992.

The cathedral housed the miraculous Kursk Root Icon of the Mother of God, which attracted numerous pilgrims seeking spiritual guidance and healing.

Located in the historical center of Kursk within the Znamensky Monastery complex, the cathedral functions as the main cathedral of the Kursk Metropolia.

The interior decoration received recognition from the Russian Academy of Arts for its religious paintings and biblical relief ornaments on marble-like walls.
