St. Vladimir's Cathedral in Pereslavl-Zalessky

Vladimir Cathedral is an Orthodox church in the city of Pereslavl-Zalessky, Yaroslavl region, the cathedral of the Diocese of Pereslavl of the Russian Orthodox Church.

It was built in 1740-1749 at the expense of a local philanthropist, the merchant Philip Ugrimov. Previously, a wooden church stood in its place, which was part of the Sretensky Novodevichy Monastery.

The cathedral was considered the main temple in relation to the neighboring Alexander Nevsky Church. In 1764, the monastery was abolished by the supreme decree of Catherine II, and the cathedral was turned into a parish church. During the Soviet era, they wanted to demolish the building, but they considered it an ancient monument and preserved it.

Two similar five-domed temples are located near the central road in close proximity to the Red Square of Pereslavl. They were built in the 1740s at the expense of the Pereslavl manufacturer F. Ugryumov, the owner of a linen manufactory. Until the second half of the 18th century, these church buildings were part of the Bogoroditsko-Sretensky Novodevichy Monastery, and with the abolition of the poor monastery they became parochial. However, up to the first third of the twentieth century, they were surrounded by walls, and there was a monastery bell tower in the form of a round and high tower that stood next to the temples. Subsequently, only a small fragment remained of the monastery walls, and the bell tower was dismantled in the 1930s due to the expansion of the roadway.

An object of cultural heritage of the XVIII century. An active temple.
