Dormition Cathedral, Orthodox cathedral in Chernivtsi, Ukraine

The Dormition Cathedral exhibits Empire style and Ukrainian Baroque architecture with five large domes and a white exterior decorated with intricate details.

Built between 1898 and 1902, the cathedral replaced an 18th-century monastery with a stone church that previously occupied the location.

The cathedral features 186 wall paintings and a five-tier iconostasis adorned with 93 icons created by artists from Lviv Art Academy.

The cathedral welcomes visitors throughout the year and maintains regular service hours, with entrance fees contributing to building maintenance.

The floor comprises granite, labradorite, and marble plates imported from Italy, Spain, and Norway, creating an extraordinary pattern.
