Church of Saint Mary Magdalene, Minsk

The Church of Saint Mary Magdalene features brick construction with classical architectural elements, including symmetrical proportions and balanced design throughout the structure.

Built in 1847, the religious building experienced a transformation from Catholic to Orthodox worship in 1860, followed by the establishment of an Orthodox monastery in 1870.

The structure maintains its position as a primary Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Minsk, representing centuries of religious traditions and practices for the local community.

Located at Kisialiova Street 42 in Minsk, the church welcomes visitors every day between 8:00 and 20:00 for both religious services and tourism.

The church survived the 1922 Bolshevik reorganization period, which led to the disbanding of its monastic community while maintaining its religious function.
