Transfiguration Cathedral
Transfiguration Cathedral, Cathedral in Uglich, Russia.
The Transfiguration Cathedral is a structure with five solid domes in the Naryshkin Baroque style, distinguished by decorative window casings and a white-stone portal. Inside, a spacious rectangular hall spans 14 meters without supporting columns.
Built in 1713, it replaced an earlier church dedicated to Constantine and Helena on the same site. The cathedral formed part of a former prince's palace complex.
The interior walls feature paintings created between 1809 and 1811 that reproduce works of Italian masters and depict scenes from the life of Christ. These compositions shape how visitors experience the sacred space inside.
The interior features no supporting pillars, allowing clear sightlines throughout the main space. Visitors can explore around the exterior to view the structure and domes from different angles.
The bell tower added in 1730 stands where a historic bell once announced the death of Tsarevich Dmitry before being exiled to Siberia. This location thus connects a dramatic chapter of Russian history to the present structure.
