Cathedral of the Dormition
Cathedral of the Dormition, Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Ryazan, Russia
The Cathedral of the Dormition spans 45 meters in length and 31 meters in width, featuring five domes atop a substantial brick foundation.
Built between 1693 and 1699 by architect Yakov Bukhvostov, the cathedral replaced a former gunpowder storage facility at the Ryazan Kremlin complex.
The cathedral houses numerous religious artifacts, including the Theodotievskaya Icon of the Mother of God, which holds special significance for Orthodox believers.
Religious services occur daily from May through September, while guided tours provide access to the architectural details and historical exhibitions.
The cathedral contains a remarkable seven-tier iconostasis reaching 27 meters in height, created by craftsmen from Sergey Khristoforov's workshop.
