General information about Holy Intercession Cathedral (Chuhuiv)

The Holy Intercession Cathedral is an architectural monument that adorns the central square of Chuhuiv.

It was built in the first half of the 19th century according to the project of the architect Vasyl Stasov in the style of classicism. The cathedral was built under the leadership of the architects of the military settlements, and the construction was completed by the architect Schrader. The mosaics and frescoes were executed by the Italian artist Petro Rosetti (he was assisted by local masters), icon painting works by the Kharkiv artist Ivan Kulikov.

During Soviet times, the building lost its dome, bell tower and all interior decoration. Until recently, a picture gallery was located here. In 2009, the cathedral was returned to believers, and restoration is underway.

Свято-Покровський собор - пам'ятка архітектури, що прикрашає центральну площу Чугуєва.

Побудований у першій половині ХІХ століття за проєктом архітектора Василя Стасова в стилі класицизму. Собор зводився під керівництвом архітекторів військових поселень, завершив будівництво архітектор Шрейдер. Мозаїки та фрески виконав італійський художник Петро Розетті (допомагали йому місцеві майстри), іконописні роботи – харківський художник Іван Куліков.

За радянських часів будівля втратила купол, дзвіницю і все внутрішнє оздоблення. До останнього часу тут розташовувалася картинна галерея. В 2009 році собор повернуто віруючим, ведеться реставрація.
