Old Cathedral of St. Barbara and St. Paul, Vitebsk
Old Cathedral of St. Barbara and St. Paul, Vitebsk, Catholic cathedral in Vitebsk, Belarus.
The Cathedral of St. Barbara and St. Paul features two prominent towers and combines Baroque and Romanesque Revival architectural elements in its brick construction.
Built in 1785 near a cemetery, the cathedral underwent reconstruction between 1884 and 1885 under the direction of architect Wiktor Junosza Piotrowski.
