Peter and Paul Cathedral
Peter and Paul Cathedral, Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Simferopol, Russia.
Peter and Paul Cathedral is a brick church building with large windows, a prominent bell tower, and a cross-shaped interior layout. The structure combines these elements to create a functional religious space.
The original structure was built in 1806 as a wooden construction and was rebuilt in brick in 1870 under architect K. Lazarev. This transformation gave the building its present form.
The cathedral displays religious artwork by Academy of Art painters on its walls, including depictions of the Lord of Hosts and the Twelve Apostles. These paintings shape the interior and create a sense of Eastern Orthodox tradition.
The building functions as an active religious center with regular worship services following the Orthodox calendar. Visitors should dress appropriately and respect local practices when entering.
During the Crimean War, an unclaimed military icon became part of the cathedral's collection and remains there today. This object is a direct witness to the region's turbulent past.
