Cathedral in honor of the Transfiguration
The construction of the Cathedral in honor of the Transfiguration of the Lord was started on July 7, 1992 due to the project of the Novosibirsk architect Petr Aleksandrovich Chernobrovtsev.
The temple has two levels:
• lower one - in the name of 3 saints (was consecrated in 1999 by Bishop Sergius (Sokolov);
• upper one - in the name of Transfiguration of the Lord.
The minor consecration of the upper temple took place in 2001, and the consecration of the main throne by Archbishop Tikhon (Emelyanov) took place in 2004. The relics of the Venerable Martyr Acacius of Athos were placed in the throne.
In August 1998, 9 bells were brought from the city of Kamensk-Uralsk, and were installed on the cathedral belfry.
In the church fence near the altar there are the graves of Archimandrite Macarius (Remorov) and Bishop Sergius (Sokolov), the first Bishop of the city of Novosibirsk and the city of Berdsk.
