St. Paul Cathedral, Lutheran cathedral in historical center of Odesa, Ukraine

St. Paul Cathedral is a Lutheran church built of pale yellow-beige brick with red-orange trim and red tile roofs. A single central tower rises above the crossing, topped by a steep, dark brown patterned spire with small arched openings near its base. The front gable contains a circular window and a large arched entrance, and two shorter square turrets with red pyramidal caps flank the structure.

The first Lutheran church on this site was built in 1825–1827 to a design by Francesco Boffo, in strict classical style, and consecrated on 9 October 1827 by superintendent Karl-August Boettiger. By the early 1890s it was dilapidated and too small for a congregation of 7,000, so in 1895–1897 Hermann Karl Scheurembrandt replaced it with a new Romanesque Revival church, consecrated on 1 November 1897 by pastor Gustav-Adolf Lockenberg.

The church is named after the Apostle Paul. Its parish was founded in 1811, and by 1895 it counted 7000 members. The Walcker organ of the 1897 building was replaced in 2010 by an instrument built in 1964 by G. F. Steinmeyer & Co., previously in Nuremberg's Kreuzkirche.

The cathedral is located in the Prymorskyi district and welcomes visitors during designated hours when services are not taking place. Checking ahead for opening times is helpful, as access may vary depending on religious observances and special events.

The structure was repurposed as a sports facility during Soviet times before eventually being restored to its religious function. A fire in 1976 caused significant damage, yet the building proved resilient and was reconstructed to preserve its architectural heritage.
