Trinity Bishops Cathedral

Trinity Church was built at the highest point of the intersection of Troitska and Novomestenska streets. It was completed by the Lintvarev family in 1827. At the end of the 19th century, the building could no longer accommodate all believers, so the headman Pavlo Kharitonenko suggested that the clergy build a new church at its own expense, resembling St. Isaac's Cathedral in St. Petersburg. In 1901-1914, the Trinity Cathedral was built according to the project of Sumy architect Gustav Scholz. The mosaic floor of the church was designed by Russian architect Alexei Shchusev. Famous painters Ignatius Nivinsky, Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin and Mikhail Nesterov worked on the interior, stained glass and iconostasis of the church. After 1917, the cathedral went through the difficult times. It was repeatedly closed, and during World War II the premises were damaged. During the Soviet era, a warehouse of haberdashery was located in the cathedral for almost thirty years. From 1988 to 2001 – the organ

Holy Resurrection Cathedral

In 1702, on the initiative of Colonels Gerasim and Andrii Kondratiev, the first stone church was built in Sumy - Voskresenska. In 1791 it burned down completely and was rebuilt only at the beginning of the XIX century. At the time of construction, in addition to the sacred role, the temple also played the role of a fortress, as evidenced by the extremely thick walls and deeply embedded windows-embrasures. In Soviet times, the church served as a dormitory and warehouse. In the postwar period, beginning in 1945, the local authorities attempted to destroy the Church of the Resurrection. In 1966, a new decision was made to demolish the building, but then it was transferred to the Sumy Art Museum. In 1978 the church was restored, and in 1996 the building was transferred to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Kyiv Patriarchate. The Resurrection Cathedral in Sumy is one of the few religious buildings of the Orthodox Christian faith, which has several independent floors. This makes it uniq

Spaso-Preobrajenskii Sobor

One of the greatest churches in the city of Sumy is the Transfiguration Cathedral. In 1788, residents built a brick church on the site of the wooden Church of the Transfiguration. The construction required more than a million bricks, so a separate brick factory was built for this purpose. The 60-foot bell was brought from the liquidated Sumy Assumption Monastery. The cathedral acquired its modern look after a major reconstruction carried out in 1882–1892 according to the project of Kharkiv architect Mykhailo Lovtsov. The expansion of the cathedral took place at the expense of Sumy merchants Dmytro and Mykola Sukhanov, to whom grateful Sumy residents installed memorial plaques in the temple vestibule. The chimes for the bell tower of the Transfiguration Cathedral were made in 1884 by the companies Winter (St. Petersburg) and Voipe (Bokenem, Germany). Transfiguration Cathedral Sumy is the only Orthodox church in the world with Catholic sculptures installed on its dome.
