The Cathedral of the Holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Grand Prince Volodymyr was built in 1882 in honour of the ninth centennial of the baptism of Rus. The authors of the initial design project in the Russian neo-Byzantine style were Ivan Strom and Pavlo Sparro, but it was later revised by Aleksandr Beretti.
The Cathedral is famous for its unique murals, created by Ukrainian and Russian artists, including Vasnetsov and Vrubel.
The relics of the Great Martyr Barbara and Saint Macarius are kept in St. Volodymyr’s Cathedral.
