Sv.-Nikolaevskiĭ Kafedralʹnyĭ Sobor, Orthodox cathedral in Mariupol, Ukraine.
The Saint Nicholas Cathedral is an Orthodox church crowned with six domes and positioned on the left bank of the Kalmius River. The building occupies a central location along Voiniv-Vyzvolyteliv Street and serves as a religious and community gathering point.
The building in its present form was constructed between 1989 and 1991 and officially registered as part of the Russian Orthodox Church. This reconstruction took place after World War II and reflects the religious revival in the region.
The copy of the Mother of God 'Mariupol' icon is venerated here and represents a direct connection between the city and its spiritual heritage. This icon draws people seeking a personal link to local religious tradition and the place where it is honored.
The cathedral hosts both religious services and community activities, so visiting hours may vary depending on the day and events taking place. Plan your visit in advance to confirm when services occur and find times suitable for quiet contemplation.
Local artisans from the city crafted the entire iconostasis, showcasing the artistic skill embedded in the community. This handmade artistic achievement reflects how deeply residents participated in shaping the spiritual space.
