Saint Sampson's Cathedral
Saint Sampson's Cathedral, Baroque cathedral in Vyborgsky District, Saint Petersburg, Russia.
Saint Sampson Cathedral features white walls, five golden onion domes mounted on a single drum, and a three-tier bell tower with Tuscan pilasters.
The cathedral was constructed between 1728 and 1740 to commemorate the Russian victory at the Battle of Poltava under Peter the Great in 1709.
The interior contains an ornate wooden iconostasis, religious paintings, and decorative elements that represent traditional Orthodox Christian architectural principles from the 18th century.
The cathedral opens daily for religious services and guided tours, with access through the Sampsonievsky Prospekt in the northern part of Saint Petersburg.
From 1938 to 1984, the cathedral served various non-religious purposes, including a clothing store and a book storage facility for the Academy of Sciences.
