Saint Nicholas Cathedral, Novgorod
Saint Nicholas Cathedral, Novgorod, Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Veliky Novgorod, Russia
The Saint Nicholas Cathedral features one central dome supported by four pillars, with an Italianate facade displaying fragments of 12th-century frescoes throughout the interior.
Prince Mstislav I of Kiev founded the cathedral in 1113, making it the second oldest religious structure in Veliky Novgorod after the Saint Sophia Cathedral.
The cathedral contains an iconostasis, a decorated screen separating the nave from the sanctuary, following traditional Eastern Orthodox architectural principles.
Located on the right bank of the Volkhov River outside the kremlin walls, the cathedral stands within Yaroslav's Court complex and operates as both a museum and church.
The cathedral survived German occupation during World War II when it served as military barracks, and underwent extensive restoration between 1994 and 1999.
