Historic Churches & Cathedrals

Nizhny Novgorod’s religious skyline is defined by its position at the confluence of the Volga and Oka rivers. This collection features the 17th-century Stroganov Baroque of the Nativity Church, the monumental 19th-century Alexander Nevsky Cathedral at the Spit, and the Kremlin’s Michael the Archangel Cathedral, the city's oldest surviving stone building. From the ancient Pechersky Ascension Monastery to the neoclassical Old Fair Cathedral designed by Auguste de Montferrand, these sites represent centuries of Orthodox tradition and diverse architectural styles.
