Kathedrale Maria Schutz und St. Andreas, Modern cathedral in Untergiesing district, Munich, Germany.

The rectangular cathedral measures 18 meters wide by 24 meters long, featuring a central dome topped with a cross and three semi-circular apses.

The cathedral, consecrated on October 17, 1976, replaced an earlier structure from the 1920s that was destroyed during World War II bombings.

Bronze reliefs at the entrance depict Saint Vladimir and Saint Olga, representing the founders of Christianity in Ukraine for the Byzantine rite community.

The cathedral serves as the main religious center for Ukrainian Catholics of the Byzantine rite in Germany and Scandinavia, with regular liturgical services.

A memorial stone stands in front of the cathedral since November 22, 2008, commemorating the victims of the Holodomor famine in Ukraine.
