Cathedral of St. Sophia

The original design of the Transfiguration Cathedral was developed in St. Petersburg in 1844, including in its structure the remains of the old Basilian Church, destroyed in 1771. Construction of the cathedral began in 1851, and in 1853 the almost completed building suddenly collapsed. Due to miscalculations and insufficient strength of the local rough bricks, the bell tower collapsed one night and destroyed the whole building. The cathedral was built for the second time from 1866 to 1874 according to the project of the academician of architecture Karl Karlovich Rachau, with the participation of the professor of architecture Ernest Ivanovich Zhiber and the famous architect of St. Petersburg.

St Michael's Cathedral was built in 1856 at the expense of the Zhytomyr merchant Mykhailo Khabotin († 1861). After the October Revolution and until 1927, the church functioned as a temple of the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox community. Under the prologue of renovation, the church was closed, after which the church building was used for a long time for other purposes. During the Second World War, the church was returned to the faithful and remained in use until 1960. On 21 November 1991, the church premises were returned to the religious community of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.

The exact date of the establishment of the cemetery is unknown, however the oldest tombstone dates back to 1885. The cemetery has around 300 gravestones and is well-maintained.
