Nikolsky Cathedral

Yaroslav's Palace ter. 1, Veliky Novgorod, Novgorod region, 173000 & #8206

Description:

The oldest building of the Yaroslavl settlement is the St. Nicholas Cathedral, built in 1113 by Prince Mstislav Vladimirovich - the son of Vladimir Monomakh.

In the XII century, the cathedral was a court princely temple.

The architectural solution of St. Nicholas Cathedral is close to the Kiev tradition of the late XI - early XII century. In the 1990s, restoration work was carried out in the cathedral and fragments of ancient Russian painting of the XII century were preserved. Today, the exhibition “Tiles in the collection of the Novgorod Museum” was opened on the territory of the temple.
