St. Michael's Cathedral, Orthodox cathedral in Red Square, Izhevsk, Russia
Description
St. Michael's Cathedral is a large stone structure that rises above Red Square with five gilded domes and an imposing bell tower. The building displays Russian Revival architectural details and occupies a prominent position at the city's highest point.
History
The original cathedral was built in 1907 but was demolished in 1937 during the Soviet era. It was reconstructed from 2000 to 2007 following the historical design to restore the landmark to the city.
Culture
The cathedral serves as a religious center where locals and visitors gather for Orthodox services and celebrations throughout the year. It functions as a living place of worship rather than merely a historical monument.
Practical
The cathedral sits at a high point in the city and is accessible on foot, though the climb up may take effort. Visitors should plan around service times when interior access may be limited.
