Peter and Paul Cathedral, Russian Orthodox cathedral in Oryol, Russia.

The cathedral structure featured five domes atop a rectangular base with a bell tower reaching towards the eastern Orthodox architectural traditions.

Construction of the cathedral began in 1797, marking the coronation of Tsar Paul I, and continued until its completion in 1841.

The cathedral served as the central religious institution for Oryol residents, hosting major Orthodox ceremonies and maintaining a collection of military banners.

The building ceased its religious functions in 1923 and underwent conversion into an archive facility before its demolition in 1940.

The regional library named after Krupskaya, constructed in 1958, now occupies the site where the cathedral once stood.
