Holy Intercession Cathedral

Temple , Architecture

The Cathedral of the Intercession of the Holy Mother of God in Izmail is the main temple of the city.

It was built in the center of Izmail in 1820-1831, during the heyday of urban planning, in the house of an old wooden temple from Turkish times. The cathedral in the style of classicism was built according to the project of the architect Avraam Melnykov, professor of architecture and rector of the Moscow Academy of Arts (according to another version - Heorhiy Torichelli).

At first it was a simple one-domed temple. Next to it in 1848, a 65-meter three-tier bell tower was built, the bells for which were cast from the metal of captured Turkish cannons. A little later, the bell tower was connected to the cathedral by a covered gallery, and above it was built the upper temple of Nicholas the Wonderworker. The distinct oval colonnade was built in 1837. As a result, the form of the Holy Intercession Cathedral began to vaguely resemble the Kazan Cathedral in St. Petersburg.

The interior was painted in the Art Nouveau style by the artist Pavlo Piskarev, a student of Viktor Vasnetsov.

At the beginning of the 20th century, a clock with a battle was installed on the belfry, which is still going on.

Monument to Lypovan (Old Believer)

Monument

A monument to the legendary founder of the village of Lypovanske, from which the modern Vylkove originates, was installed on the city pier for the 250th anniversary of the city.

It was founded in the 18th century by Orthodox Old Believers from Lypovans who were hiding from the persecution of the reformed Russian Orthodox Church. It is believed that the traditions of seafaring in Vylkove were laid down by fugitive Zaporozhian Cossacks who also settled here.

The monument of the work of the Odesa sculptor Oleksandr Tokarev depicts a plastered pioneer with a cross in his hands, descending to the shore from a boat. The sculpture is installed near the wharf, from which excursions along the Vylkove canals and the Danube floodplains usually depart.

Monument to Suvorov

Monument

The equestrian monument to the general Suvorov, who led the capture of the Turkish fortress Izmail in 1790, was made in 1913 by the Odesa sculptor Borys Eduards for the memorial in Rymnik (Romania).

Shortly after the beginning of the First World War, the sculpture was evacuated. For a long time, she stood in the workshop of a sculptor in Odesa. According to another version, the Roman sculpture disappeared during the war, and Edwards' workshop kept a copy, which he created specifically for the installation of the monument in Ishmael. Only in 1945, the statue was transported to Izmail and installed on the central avenue of the city. A copy of this monument was installed in Tulchyn (Vinnytsia region).

On December 1, 2022, during the full-scale Russian-Ukrainian war, the monument to Suvorov in Izmail was dismantled by the decision of the deputies of the Izmail City Council. The further fate of this monument should be determined by the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine.
