Orthodox Cathedral of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary in Wrocław
Orthodox Cathedral of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary in Wrocław, Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Wrocław, Poland
The cathedral extends 32.7 meters in length and 24.6 meters in width, featuring pointed arches and ribbed vaults characteristic of Gothic architecture.
Originally constructed as a wooden cemetery chapel in the 15th century, the cathedral underwent major reconstruction after losing 70% of its structure during World War II.
The cathedral stands within the Four Denominations District, alongside Evangelical, Jewish, and Catholic places of worship, representing religious diversity in Wrocław.
Located on św. Mikołaja 40, the cathedral serves the Polish Orthodox community as part of the Wrocław-Szczecin diocese since 1963.
The building functioned as a garrison church from 1741 to 1920 before its transformation into an Orthodox cathedral, marking a significant shift in its religious purpose.
