Saint Wenceslas Orthodox Cathedral, Orthodox Cathedral at Gorazdova Street, Brno, Czech Republic
The cathedral stands at the northwestern slope of Špilberk Hill, featuring a rectangular ground plan and a dome covered in 24-carat gold leaf.
Construction of the cathedral occurred between 1930 and 1931, designed by architect Petr Levický who provided his services without charging the Orthodox community.
The interior houses an iconostasis with red stone slabs supporting eight green stone columns, decorated with icons painted by artist Olga Dyachenko.
Visitors can reach the cathedral via public transport stops Tvrdého or Obilní trh, with tram line 4 and trolleybus lines 35, 38, and 39.
A memorial plaque on the facade honors Bishop Gorazd and two church elders who were executed in 1942 for protecting Heydrich's assassins.
