Church of the Epiphany, Orthodox cathedral in central Kazan, Russia
Built with red brick, the Epiphany Cathedral features five domes and an imposing bell tower reaching 64 meters in height.
The initial wooden church appeared in 1566, while merchants Ivan Mikhlyaev and Sergei Chernov funded the stone cathedral construction between 1731 and 1756.
The cathedral represents Russian Revival architecture through its Gothic-style portals, decorative kokoshnik arches, and traditional Orthodox religious symbols.
Daily religious services take place in the cathedral, which stands as a federal cultural heritage site open to visitors in the heart of Kazan.
The cathedral's baptismal records document the christening of renowned opera singer Feodor Chaliapin on February 2, 1873.
