This cathedral was built by the Jesuits in the 17th century, replacing the medieval cathedral that was in its place. The architecture is unique, blending both baroque and gothic styles, as is its rotunda shape, which is not typical for Dalmatia.

The Volodymyrsky Cathedral was built between 1862 and 1882 in the Russian neo-Byzantine style, but the interior decoration, including many symbolist frescoes, was not completed until 1896.

After the war, the cathedral was reopened as one of the few functioning Orthodox churches in the USSR. Since 2018, the church has been the mother cathedral of the new Ukrainian Orthodox Church, which seceded from the Patriarch of Moscow.
