Преображенский собор, Orthodox cathedral in Pavlovsk, Russia.
The Transfiguration Cathedral is a stone building with classical architectural elements located on Transfiguration Square in Pavlovsk. The structure features symmetrical proportions and a bell tower that stands out in the town's skyline.
A wooden chapel was first built in 1724, then reconstructed in stone in 1780, with a bell tower added in 1799. These changes show how the building grew in size and importance over time.
The cathedral served as a district cultural center from 1948 to 2014, reflecting the transformation of religious buildings during the Soviet period.
The building is currently closed to visitors while undergoing restoration work. The location on Transfiguration Square makes it easy to find and view from outside.
The interior holds two side chapels dedicated to the Pavlovsk Icon of the Mother of God and Saints Mitrofan and Tikhon of Voronezh. These chapels reflect local religious devotion to regional holy figures.
