Uglich. Spaso-Preobrazhensky Cathedral

The cathedral, built under the leadership of Grigory Fedorov in the 1710s on the site of a dismantled ancient temple, is characteristic of the Yaroslavl architecture of the XVII century. It is a five-domed temple, made in one volume, without pillars.

 

The southern facade of the temple faces the city and is characterized by a portico in the classical style, added in the XIX century.

 

The painting of the cathedral was made at the beginning of the XIX century also in classicism by a group of artists led by the serf of Prince Golitsyn Timofey Medvedev.

 

The detached bell tower was built in 1730 to the south of the cathedral. It is decorated with a modern clock that has replaced the previously existing ones.
