The Transfiguration Cathedral
The Transfiguration Cathedral, Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Shadrinsk, Russia
Description
The Transfiguration Cathedral is a stone structure with multiple domes that shapes the skyline of Shadrinsk in the Siberian Baroque style. Its design features a wall composition without applied pilasters, with bell towers integrated into the western side of the building.
History
Construction began in 1771, marking the shift when stone and brick churches started replacing wooden ones throughout Siberia. This development reflected growing prosperity and the region's stronger cultural ties to the Russian Empire.
Culture
The cathedral blends Ukrainian and Eastern architectural influences in ways specific to Siberia. You can see this fusion in the decorative details and the overall shape of the building.
Practical
The cathedral is open daily to visitors and holds regular religious services, which means interior areas may not be accessible during these times. It helps to check in advance for visiting hours or available tours through the local cultural heritage office.
Did you know?
The cathedral displays astylar forms, meaning its walls were designed without the usual applied columns or pilasters. This design choice makes the building look quite different from other Baroque structures of its era.
