Sunday church

The Resurrection Church is a former cathedral of Vologda, which was built in 1772-1776 in the Baroque style under the leadership of the great Vologda Archbishop Joseph the Golden. Currently, it is the main building of the art gallery and an architectural monument of federal significance.

The new Resurrection Cathedral was built on the site of the dismantled tower of the Vologda Kremlin. On its construction was a stone from the ruins of fortress towers and walls. The construction was carried out by the local famous architect Zlatitsky on the model, which was made by the capital master. The construction was completed in 1776, under Bishop Irenaeus, after the death of Joseph the Golden.

The facades of the temple are decorated with Tuscan columns and pilasters, and the windows are framed with curtains. The main entrance to the cathedral was built in the Empire style and is located on the Kremlin Square. It is difficult to judge the interior of the cathedral. In 1832-1833 it underwent restoration. The painting of the walls depicts the style of the era of Alexander II and III, and the iconostasis give creeps to luxury.
