Narva Resurrection Cathedral
Narva Issanda Ülestõusmise peakirik
A red-brick Orthodox cathedral in the New Byzantine style. It survived the Second World War, has an elaborate carved wooden iconostasis, and reflects Narva's Russian-speaking heritage.
The Resurrection Cathedral was built between 1890 and 1896, also funded by the Kreenholm Manufacture, to serve the Orthodox Christian workers. Its red-brick facade and green dome are in the New Byzantine style, and it can hold about 2,000 people. It is one of the few large buildings in Narva to survive the Second World War, and its carved wooden iconostasis is exquisite. More than 90 percent of Narva's residents speak Russian, and this is an important religious centre for the local community. Entry is free. Women are advised to wear a headscarf when entering. It is near the railway station.
