Annunciation Cathedral

Annunciation Cathedral
The beautiful Annunciation Cathedral dates from the end of the 17th century and was consecrated in 1700. It was built in the traditional Russian style with a large cubic structure topped with five domes, which are now light blue in colour. Standing next to the cathedral is its tall tent-dome bell tower. The cathedral was closed after the revolution and given to the Gorokhovets Historical and Architectural Museum. Today the cathedral stands empty and unused and there are talks of returning it to the Orthodox Church.
