Trinity Cathedral

Trinity Cathedral is an Orthodox church building in central Yekaterinburg featuring Classicist architecture with symmetrical proportions and brick walls painted in reddish tones. The complex houses multiple prayer halls and smaller chapels organized within a rectangular plan.

Construction of the cathedral began in 1818 and was initially connected to Old Believer communities in the area. In 1838 a local merchant took over the building and changed it to serve the Orthodox denomination.

The cathedral remains central to religious life in the city, serving as a place where believers gather regularly for worship and spiritual practice. Its brick structure with distinctive domes has become a familiar landmark that shapes how residents experience their urban surroundings.

The cathedral is located in the central area of Yekaterinburg and is easily accessible on foot from nearby districts. Visitors should expect regular services throughout the week and should dress respectfully when entering the building.

During the Soviet era the building was converted into a cinema and later repurposed as a coat factory. After the Soviet period ended it returned to religious use in 1995.
