Cathedral of the Resurrection, Tutayev, Orthodox cathedral in Tutayev, Russia
The Cathedral of the Resurrection is an Eastern Orthodox church on the right bank of the Volga River in Tutayev, distinguished by white stone walls and multiple domes. Its design combines traditional Russian church features with the characteristic style of 17th-century regional construction.
Construction began in 1652 on the site of an earlier wooden church, with local craftsmen completing the structure over several decades. This period marked a flourishing of religious building in the region.
The interior walls display religious paintings from the 1680s showing Gospel scenes, created by artists from the Yaroslavl school tradition. These artworks reflect how the local community expressed their faith through visual storytelling.
The cathedral features two worship spaces: a lower chapel for winter use and an upper chapel for summer services. Visitors can explore the building during daylight hours to experience its architecture and interior.
The building houses a large devotional icon from the 15th century, created by a master painter of that era. This artwork represents a rare survival from an earlier period preserved within the later cathedral structure.
