Protection Cathedral, Old Believer church in Zamoskvorechye District, Russia
The Protection Cathedral features white walls, numerous arches, and multiple domes that exemplify Neo-Byzantine architectural elements from the Russian Empire period.
The cathedral opened its doors in 1908 during a period when Old Believers constructed religious buildings following the easing of government restrictions.
The cathedral maintains traditional Orthodox practices, including separate sections for men and women during services and specific prayer rituals for Old Believers.
Visitors can access the cathedral via the Novokuznetskaya metro station, with entrance permitted outside regular service hours from Tuesday through Sunday.
The cathedral contains original early 20th-century religious paintings that survived without restoration, displaying the authentic color palette of the period.
