The Cathedral of the Nativity stands 81 meters tall with five gold and blue domes arranged in a cross pattern above its white marble exterior walls.

The construction process of this religious edifice extended over two decades, reaching completion in 2016 as part of the post-Soviet religious revival movement.

The interior contains 92 religious icons and features extensive mosaic work created in Jerusalem, representing Russian Orthodox artistic traditions.

Located on Ulitsa Gorkogo, the cathedral welcomes visitors daily, with guided tours available to explore the main worship areas and architectural elements.
