Annunciation Cathedral in Shlisselburg

The Annunciation Cathedral exhibits traditional Russian ecclesiastical architecture with its central dome, symmetrical proportions, and white stone facade near Lake Ladoga.

Built in 1764 during the reign of Catherine the Great, the cathedral stands as a representation of Russian Orthodox construction methods from the 18th century.

The cathedral maintains its role as an active religious center where Orthodox ceremonies, liturgies, and community gatherings continue throughout the religious calendar.

Located in the Red Square ensemble of Shlisselburg, the cathedral opens daily for visitors and worshippers, with guided tours available in multiple languages.

The cathedral's position near the ancient fortress of Oreshek provides a connection between religious architecture and medieval military fortifications.
