Cathedral of the Dormition
Cathedral of the Dormition, Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Astrakhan, Russia
The Cathedral of the Dormition stands 75 meters tall with five domes and features intricate brick decorations with white stone carvings along its exterior walls.
Construction of the cathedral began in 1699 under architect Dorotheos Myakisheva, completing the main structure and bell tower with its integrated clock in 1710.
The cathedral maintains two distinct worship spaces: an upper church for summer ceremonies and a lower church supported by gallery columns for winter services.
Located on the highest hill within the Astrakhan Kremlin complex, the cathedral opens its doors to visitors who can explore both levels of this religious monument.
The cathedral combines elements of both Naryshkin and Moscow Baroque styles, creating a distinctive architectural composition that stands out in southern Russia.
