Vladimir Cathedral in Pereslavl-Zalessky

The Vladimir Cathedral stands on Sovetskaya Street in Pereslavl-Zalessky, right at the edge of the town rampart. The red church with five green heads was built in the 1740s with money from the merchant Filipp Ugryumov for the Novodevichy convent of the Meeting of the Mother of God. The convent was closed under Catherine II, and in time the cathedral became a parish church. An almost identical Church of Alexander Nevsky was put up next door, and the two of them hold the perspective of the street. In the Soviet years the building held a bakery, and services returned only in the nineties.
