St. Nicholas Cathedral

St. Nicholas Cathedral is an Orthodox church building in Naro-Fominsk featuring white walls, multiple domes, and traditional religious architectural details on its exterior. The interior contains a worship space arranged with Orthodox iconography and liturgical furnishings.

The cathedral was constructed in 1825 under architect Pyotr Petrovich Burenin and reflects religious architecture of 19th-century Russia. It stands as a surviving example of the building traditions from that era.

The name references Saint Nicholas and his memory is honored through regular worship gatherings where the community comes together. The building serves as a gathering place for people during major Orthodox celebrations and throughout the liturgical year.

The cathedral is open to visitors during service times, with major celebrations taking place on Sundays and during Orthodox Christian holidays. Visitors should dress respectfully and be mindful of the religious customs observed at the site.

The grounds include a parish school and kindergarten alongside the church building, expanding the religious site into an education and community center. These facilities transform the location into more than just a place of worship.
