      🏛 Cathedral of the Nativity of the Virgin

      Приозерск, ул. Калинина, 5

      The town's main Orthodox church — a stone cathedral from the 1840s on the central square.

      • The cathedral was built in 1836–1847 to a design by architect David Visconti and consecrated on 11 December 1847.
      • The church combines Empire and Russo-Byzantine styles, and the Holy Synod provided all the funding for its construction.
      • One of its bells was a Swedish trophy — cast in Stockholm in 1649 and weighing almost a tonne.
      • In Soviet times the building served as a warehouse, a museum, a Pioneer House, a printing house and a consumer-services plant.
      • The church was returned to believers in 1992, and in 2013 it became a cathedral again.
