Катедральний собор Різдва Христового розташований у центрі Володимира.

Був побудований як єзуїтський костел Розіслання Апостолів у межах окольного міста в 1755 році слонімським старостою Гнатом Садовським. Будівництво костелу в стилі пізнього бароко тривало 15 років. У 1762 році костел єзуїтів набув статусу монастиря "Серце Ісуса". Після скасування ордена єзуїтів костел перейшов до ордену Василіан, а в 1840 році монастир став православним, був резиденцією єпископів. У 1921 році знову перейшов у розпорядження римо-католицької єпархії.

Постраждав під час Другої світової війни. Наразі відреставрований, є православним катедральним собором Різдва Христового Православної церкви України.
