Mirozh monastery Transfiguration Cathedral
Mirozh monastery Transfiguration Cathedral, Orthodox cathedral in Pskov, Russia
The stone cathedral features a wide central dome and follows Byzantine architectural principles with cross-shaped layout and unobstructed interior spaces.
Founded in 1148 by Archbishop Nifont during his mission to spread Christianity in northwestern Russia after relocating from Novgorod.
The cathedral walls display complete collections of 12th-century frescoes painted by Greek artists, representing early Christian art in Russia.
The cathedral operates as part of the Pskov State Museum-Reserve, with controlled visitor access to protect the medieval frescoes from humidity damage.
The cathedral maintains its original Byzantine construction methods, predating the development of the regional Pskov architectural style.
