Orthodox Cathedral of the Nativity of Christ, Volodymyr-Volynskyi

The Cathedral of the Nativity of Christ displays baroque architecture with twin towers, detailed pilasters, and a central dome constructed from red brick materials.

The cathedral's construction began in 1718 through Jesuit funding, later transferred to Basilian monks in 1773, and converted to Orthodox worship in 1840.

The interior of the cathedral contains numerous mosaics and frescoes depicting biblical scenes, reflecting centuries of Eastern Orthodox artistic traditions.

The cathedral maintains regular religious services and offers guided tours that explain the architectural elements and historical significance of this religious monument.

Underground passages beneath the cathedral complex form an extensive network, originally serving as escape routes and storage areas for the resident monks.
