The cathedral, designed to meet the needs of the Russian colony, was built in 1903 by Préobrajenski, professor of architecture at the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts in St Petersburg, inspired by the five-dome churches of the late 16th century in the Moscow region.

The domes of the cathedral, consecrated on December 18, 1912, are made of reinforced concrete. The iconostasis and several icons are the work of the painter Leonid Pianovsky.
