The Annunciation Cathedral (
Eastern Orthodox
churches in the world.
The existing five-domed building of the cathedral with an attached bell tower was erected between 1998 and 2009. It was patterned after St. Vladimir's Cathedral, built in the late 19th century in a Russo-Byzantine style harking back to the works of Konstantin Thon and demolished by the Bolsheviks in the 20th century.
The church takes its name from the eponymous
Mitrofan of Voronezh;[1] it was destroyed by the Soviets in the 1950s. The existing bell tower echoes the one designed for the old cathedral by Giacomo Quarenghi
.
A monument to St. Mitrofan, whose relics are kept inside, was unveiled in front of the church in 2003.[1]
