Resurrection cathedral, Bryansk, Orthodox temple in Bryansk, Russia

The Resurrection Cathedral (Voskresenskaya Church) is an Orthodox church in Bryansk built in 1739–1741 as the cathedral of the Resurrection Convent. It is at least the fourth church on this site. Its early Baroque forms, including a bell tower added in 1769 and given a new top in 1843, took shape between 1741 and the 1840s. The refectory has a side chapel dedicated to Saints Gurias, Samonas and Abibus.

The stone church was built between 1739 and 1741 as the cathedral of the Resurrection Convent, which had existed in Bryansk since possibly the 15th century and was dissolved in 1766. It replaced a wooden church of 1713, itself preceded by a stone church of 1706 that Peter I had ordered dismantled to extend the fortress. A bell tower was added in 1769 and given a new top in 1843, the year the chapel of St Andrew Stratelates was installed. Closed in the late 1930s and converted into a service combine, it reopened in 1942 and was restored in 1985-1986.

The church was shared between the "Old Church" clergy and the Renovationists after the 1922 schism; in 1937–1938 both its Orthodox priests, including the hieromartyr Serafim Vasilenko, and the Renovationist archbishop Vladimir Dosychev were arrested and shot. From 2006 until 23 June 2012 the relics of Saint Prince Oleg of Bryansk rested here, then moved to the new Trinity Cathedral.

The church stands in the historic centre of Bryansk, a short walk from the Pokrovskaya Gora park and the city's main squares. It reopened in 1942 and has held regular services since the late 1940s, so it is an active parish rather than a museum; visitors should dress modestly and avoid entering during services.

The cathedral kept the relics of Saint Prince Oleg of Bryansk from 2006 until 23 June 2012, when they were moved to the newly built Trinity Cathedral. Until that consecration in 2012 it served as the cathedral church of the Bryansk eparchy.
