Church of the Resurrection, Kokshetau, Russian Orthodox cathedral in Kokshetau, Kazakhstan.
The Church of the Resurrection is a Russian Orthodox building in Kokshetau distinguished by neoclassical architecture with a central dome and four corner rotundas topped with golden domes. The structure accommodates roughly 500 people during regular services and can hold up to 1,500 visitors.
The foundation for this sanctuary was laid in 2015, with construction work beginning in 2016 and the building completed after several years of work. The bells were specifically cast by Russian craftspeople and later consecrated, underscoring the religious character of the facility.
The church serves as the spiritual center for the Orthodox community in Kokshetau, drawing visitors who wish to experience traditional religious rituals and ceremonies. The interior spaces are arranged to accommodate both personal prayer and community gatherings.
The building sits conveniently along Nazarbayev Avenue near Lake Kopa, making it easy to access. Visitors should note that it is an active place of worship, so wearing appropriate clothing and respecting ongoing services is important when visiting.
The building houses twelve bells cast by artisans in Tutayev, a Russian city with a long tradition of bell-making craftsmanship. These bells are not merely functional elements but also artworks that brought a piece of Russian craft culture to this location.
