Dormition Cathedral, Kaniv

The brick cathedral stands with its white walls and multiple domes, representing traditional Eastern Orthodox architecture along the Dnieper River banks.

Prince Vsevolod II of Kyiv established the Dormition Cathedral in 1144, marking the beginning of religious development in medieval Kaniv.

The cathedral functions as a central religious institution where Eastern Orthodox believers gather for regular services and important ceremonies.

Visitors can access the cathedral through guided tours, with regular opening hours from morning until evening throughout the week.

The cathedral returned to state ownership in recent years after legal proceedings determined its status as a protected national cultural monument.
