Dormition Cathedral, Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Kesklinn, Estonia

The brick cathedral features a cruciform plan with an octagonal base, large domed roof, and architectural elements of Russian Baroque design throughout its structure.

The cathedral, constructed between 1776 and 1782, replaced previous religious structures on the site, including a Dominican convent from the 13th century.

The cathedral serves as the seat of the Orthodox Bishop of Tartu and contains religious art and icons representing Eastern Orthodox traditions.

Located at coordinates 58.3825° latitude and 26.7225° longitude, the cathedral maintains regular opening hours for religious services and visitor access.

The cathedral received its current design from architect Paul Spekle after a fire destroyed the previous stone church in 1775.
