Cathedral parish of St. Nicholas in Nizhny Novgorod, Russian Orthodox cathedral in Kanavinsky district, Nizhny Novgorod, Russia.
The Cathedral parish of St. Nicholas features Byzantine architecture with high walls, large windows, and an imposing central dome overlooking the city district.
Construction of the cathedral began in 1868 after local merchants funded the project to mark Emperor Alexander II's visit to the Nizhny Novgorod Fair.
The cathedral serves as a central place of worship for Russian Orthodox followers, with regular services held in its restored interior spaces.
Located near the commercial center of Nizhny Novgorod, the cathedral maintains regular opening hours and holds daily religious ceremonies for visitors.
During World War II, the cathedral's structure supported an anti-aircraft battery, transforming the religious building into a strategic defense point.
