Roslavl

The Bogoyavlensky Cathedral stands in Roslavl at coordinates 53.9475° N and 32.858056° E, featuring red brick walls with white limestone decorations.

Construction of the cathedral began in 1779, following the architectural principles of Naryshkin Baroque that emerged in the late 17th century Russia.

The cathedral represents a combination of Western European Baroque influences with traditional Russian architectural elements through its structural composition and decorative features.

Located 113 kilometers southeast of Smolensk, the cathedral remains an active religious center accessible through the Smolensk-Bryansk railway line.

The cathedral incorporates an octagonal bell tower positioned directly above the main building, rather than standing separately as found in other Russian Orthodox churches.
