Cathedral of the Holy Resurrection

The Cathedral of the Holy Resurrection in Sumy, consecrated in 1702, is a great example of Cossack Baroque. The authentic appearance of the Church of the Resurrection has not been completely preserved, the modern appearance of the church having been acquired through numerous reconstructions and restorations, the last major one in the 1970s. The Church of the Resurrection, also a defensive structure, harmoniously combines traditional techniques with the characteristics of Ukrainian wood and stone architecture. The free-standing bell tower was built in 1906 in the neo-baroque style.
