St. Nicholas Cathedral, Harbin, Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Nangang District, Harbin, China.
The wooden structure displays Russian Revival architecture with traditional domes and intricate iconography across its exterior and interior surfaces.
Built in 1900 and elevated to cathedral status in 1908, the original building served the Russian community until its destruction during the Cultural Revolution in 1966.
The cathedral marked the center of Russian Orthodox religious life in Harbin, reflecting the substantial Russian population that settled following the Trans-Siberian Railway construction.
A reconstructed version of the cathedral stands in Harbin's suburbs since 2009, operating primarily as a museum and tourist destination.
The cathedral's design by architect Joseph Padlevsky incorporated Canadian wood materials, combining international resources with Russian architectural traditions.
