St. Olga Cathedral, Orthodox cathedral in Kyiv, Ukraine.

The brick cathedral rises 60 meters into the sky, displaying neo-Byzantine architecture with detailed craftsmanship across its exterior and interior surfaces.

The cathedral bears the name of Princess Olga, who ruled Kievan Rus from 945 to 957 and initiated the spread of Christianity in the region.

The cathedral maintains regular Orthodox services and ceremonies, connecting present-day worshippers to centuries of Eastern Christian traditions in Ukraine.

The cathedral opens its doors to visitors throughout the week, with guided tours available in multiple languages to explain its architectural and religious elements.

Local artisans contributed to the cathedral's construction, incorporating traditional Ukrainian decorative patterns into the brickwork and interior design elements.
