Cathedral of St. Mary Magdalene, Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Praga-Północ district, Warsaw, Poland
The five-domed brick cathedral stands prominently on Solidarności Avenue, featuring Russian Revival architecture with intricate details and traditional Orthodox design elements.
Built in 1867 for the Russian community in Warsaw, this cathedral survived both world wars and became the main Orthodox church of Poland in 1921.
The cathedral contains two iconostases created by Russian artists, with interior walls decorated in Byzantine-style frescoes depicting religious figures and scenes.
The cathedral accommodates up to 1000 worshippers and holds regular Orthodox services, with the Metropolitan of Warsaw conducting ceremonies in this central location.
This structure remains one of only two freestanding Orthodox churches in Warsaw that maintained their original function through the interwar period restitution campaign.
