Uzhhorod Orthodox Cathedral, Orthodox cathedral in Uzhhorod, Ukraine.
The Uzhhorod Orthodox Cathedral is a worship space featuring five gilded domes that rise prominently above the surrounding cityscape and form a distinctive architectural landmark. The building follows Russian-Byzantine style and accommodates thousands of worshippers for religious services and ceremonies.
The cathedral was built in the 1990s after the previous religious building was transferred to another denomination. The new construction arose from the Orthodox community's need for their own worship space.
The cathedral serves as the religious center for the local Orthodox community and shapes the city's identity with its visible presence. It draws believers and visitors who experience Byzantine artistic traditions and Orthodox worship practices.
Visitors should know that the cathedral holds regular services that are open to the public and provide insight into Orthodox worship. Appropriate dress is expected, and it is wise to check visiting times before arrival.
The building houses a ground-level chapel dedicated to the Holy Cross, continuing an older religious heritage in the region. This inner chapel connects visitors to earlier phases of religious life in Transcarpathia.
