St. Catherine's Cathedral, Kherson, Orthodox cathedral in Kherson, Ukraine

The cathedral features a domed sandstone structure with a Tuscan portico and rusticated walls, displaying Neoclassical architecture from the 18th century.

General Ivan Gannibal ordered the construction between 1781 and 1786 as one of the first churches in New Russia following the Russo-Turkish War.

The cathedral holds religious services and contains historical elements reflecting Russia's Byzantine heritage through its architectural design and religious symbolism.
