Cathedral of the Dormition, Eastern Orthodox cathedral at Strelka, Yaroslavl, Russia
The Cathedral of the Dormition stands 50 meters tall at the confluence of the Volga and Kotorosl rivers, featuring five large golden domes and brick construction.
Prince Konstantin Vsevolodovich initiated the construction of the first stone cathedral in 1215, which underwent multiple reconstructions until its current version completed in 2012.
The cathedral functions as the main religious center for the Yaroslavl and Rostov Eparchy, continuing centuries of Eastern Orthodox traditions in the region.
Located at Ploschad Chelyuskintsev 2A Kotoroslnaya Naberezhnaya, the cathedral maintains regular services and offers guided tours throughout the year.
The structure represents the fifth incarnation of the cathedral, reconstructed in 2004 after the previous version was demolished by the Bolsheviks in 1937.
