Attraction Mogilev: St. Nicholas Cathedral

St. Nicholas Cathedral is known for its amazing gilded wooden iconostasis, exquisite stucco ornamentation and unique fresco paintings.

This is an outstanding monument of Belarusian architecture of the 17th century, listed by UNESCO in the register of the most valuable baroque structures in Europe. Practically all the representatives of the highest Orthodox clergy of the Commonwealth visited it, while Dmitry Nagoy, Lzhedmitry II , lived for some time .

It contains a lifetime portrait of the last Russian emperor Nicholas II , found in the hiding place of one of the old houses on Pioneer Street in Mogilev on the day of the canonization of the royal family.
