The Orthodox Cathedral of Saint Nicolas, Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Centrum District, Białystok, Poland.

The Saint Nicolas Cathedral features classical architectural elements with a central dome, reaching a height of 40 meters above Lipowa Street.

Constructed between 1843 and 1846, this brick cathedral replaced an earlier Uniate church from the early 18th century at the same location.

The cathedral serves as the main religious center for the Orthodox Christian community in Białystok and houses the relics of Saint Gabriel.

Religious services occur regularly on Sundays and religious feast days, while the cathedral remains open for individual prayer during weekdays.

In 1991, this Orthodox cathedral received Pope John Paul II, marking an important moment of inter-religious dialogue between Catholic and Orthodox faiths.
