Transfiguration Cathedral, Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Nizhny Novgorod Fair, Russia.

The Transfiguration Cathedral features five domes, large windows for natural light, and reaches a height of 39 meters above the ground level.

Engineer Augustin Betancourt and architect Auguste Montferrand constructed the cathedral between 1818 and 1822 following Russian Empire classicism principles.

The cathedral maintains three altars dedicated to the Holy Cross, Alexander Nevsky, and Saint Macarius of Zheltovodsk, representing Russian Orthodox traditions.

The cathedral holds daily religious services, including morning and evening liturgies, with additional ceremonies during Orthodox Christian holidays throughout the year.

The cathedral represents the first five-domed construction in classical style within Nizhny Novgorod architectural heritage.
