Our Lady of Kazan Cathedral

The cathedral features a main central dome surrounded by four smaller domes, with white walls and golden crosses atop each spire point.

Completed in 2005, the cathedral represents a modern addition to Orthodox architecture in the Republic of Kalmykia, marking religious revival after Soviet times.

The cathedral displays traditional Russian Orthodox iconography inside, while existing in Kalmykia's predominantly Buddhist cultural environment, creating an intersection of religious traditions.

The cathedral holds regular Orthodox services every morning and evening, with additional ceremonies during major religious holidays throughout the year.

The cathedral stands as the primary Russian Orthodox place of worship in Elista, where Buddhist temples traditionally dominate the religious landscape.
