Saint Sophia and Dormition Cathedral
Saint Sophia and Dormition Cathedral, Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Tobolsk, Russia.
The Saint Sophia and Dormition Cathedral rises 47 meters high within the Tobolsk Kremlin complex, featuring thick brick walls and Ukrainian-style domes.
Built between 1683 and 1686 under Metropolitan Paul I of Tobolsk, the cathedral experienced a vault collapse during construction before its final completion.
The cathedral serves as the burial site for seven bishops and metropolitans of Tobolsk, representing centuries of Orthodox leadership in Siberia.
Located at Krasnaya Square 2, building 22, the cathedral stands as part of the federal cultural heritage complex, which visitors can explore daily.
The structure contains reinforced pillars and arches, implemented after the initial construction failure, making it the first stone building in Siberia.
