Holy Resurrection Cathedral

Holy Resurrection Cathedral
Ukraine, Sumy
The Holy Resurrection Cathedral is the oldest and first stone church in the city, built in two tiers in the Ukrainian architectural style over the descent to the Sumka River by Sumy colonels Gerasim and Andrey Kondratiev in 1702. The cathedral with thick walls and loophole windows, surrounded by a high wall, served as both a cult building and a defensive structure of the Sumy fortress. In 1906, a bell tower in the Ukrainian baroque style was built nearby, instead of the destroyed old one.
In Soviet times, the cathedral was used as a warehouse, later it housed the department of arts and crafts of the art museum. Now the Holy Resurrection Church is the cathedral of the Sumy diocese of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Kiev Patriarchate.

The first construction of the Holy Resurrection Cathedral dates back to 1702. Later, the church was completed and rebuilt several times. The temple was built at the expense of Sumy colonels Gerasim and Andrey Kondratiev. And later served as their burial place. The architectural and planning feature of the church is its two-tier structure. The lower (warm or "winter") temple was consecrated in the name of St. Andrew the First-Called, the heavenly patron Andrei Kondratiev, the upper one - in the name of the Resurrection of Christ.
