Church of Saint Catherine of Alexandria

The church reflects Orthodox architectural conventions found throughout the region, blending neoclassical design with the requirements of religious worship. Visitors can observe how European styling was adapted to Russian spiritual practice within this structure.

The building is located on Cooperative Street 21 and welcomes visitors during regular services. Information about visiting hours and current activities can be found through the official website of the church.

The building received official recognition as a cultural heritage site in 2004 and was listed in the state registry of protected monuments. This designation ensures its historical value is preserved for future generations.
