The pretty Transfiguration of the Saviour Cathedral is the eparchial cathedral for the Ivanovo Metropolitanate. Work started on the cathedral in 1889 and was funded by a local factory owner. It was built in the Russian revival style and consecrated in 1893. The cathedral comprises a large elaborately decorated building topped with five small domes on tall tholobates. Attached to the front of the cathedral is a bell tower and the whole complex is surrounded by fencing with gates. The cathedral was closed in 1940 but reopened four years later in 1944, remaining open ever since.
