Transfiguration Cathedral, Zhytomyr

The Transfiguration Cathedral features red brick walls, ornate decorative elements, and rises 53 meters high with multiple domes atop its structure.

Karl Rachau designed this cathedral in the late 19th century, incorporating architectural elements from the Russian Revival movement during the expansion of Orthodox churches.

The cathedral maintains regular Eastern Orthodox services and religious ceremonies, connecting the local community through traditional Ukrainian spiritual practices.

Visitors can access the cathedral through the main entrance on Mykhailivska Street, with religious services scheduled throughout the week.

The cathedral's construction required specialized brick laying techniques to create its complex geometric patterns and structural support for its tall central dome.
